How a Gaza-bound aid convoy unravelled attempting to enter Haftar-controlled eastern Libya Submitted by Alex MacDonald on Wed, 05/27/2026 - 13:50 Communication breakdowns, raids by armed militias and abductions derail Global Sumud Convoy A billboard bearing the image of eastern commander Khalifa Haftar stands in the Ras al-Alba region of southeastern Libya on 16 May 2026 (Abdullah Doma/AFP) Off Israeli forces’ seizure of activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza  and the mistreatment they endured made headlines last week. But around 2,000km to the west, the land-based affiliate of the pro-Palestinian aid movement also ran into trouble on its journey to the besieged enclave. More than 200 activists with the Global Sumud Convoy entered the 5+5 security zone near the Libyan city of Sirte, a contested area established under the country’s October 2020 ceasefire agreement, hoping to negotiate safe passage onwards to Gaza.

MilitaryUpdate🇵🇰Pakistan 🇱🇾Libya 🇮🇷Iran7d ago

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has quietly begun mediating between Libya’s rival eastern and western power centres, a previously-unreported effort that would further raise Islamabad’s diplomatic profile if it succeeds. The Pakistani involvement comes after observers monitored for months a US-led push to find a diplomatic solution in Libya, which has been split between rival eastern and western administrations since a civil war that broke out in the years after the 2011 Nato-backed uprising toppled Muammar Qadhafi. The move comes on the heels of a separate mediation between the US and Iran this year, where Pakistan has played a central role, and has been repeatedly praised by the Trump administration for its involvement.

A decade after fierce battles reduced much of the University of Benghazi to rubble, students at Libya's oldest and largest university are once again looking to the future with optimism. After the 2011 uprisings that toppled and killed longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi, the university, founded in 1955, became the stage for intense fighting between jihadist groups and forces led by military strongman Khalifa Haftar. Today, its nearly 70,000 students still attend classes in temporary facilities while a brand-new vast campus is set to open in the autumn.
