Further clashes are bound to unfold soon in #Tripolitania.
Because:
• some #local rivalries have become too tense.
• #macro fault lines have shifted too far away from #Libya’s Jun 2020 equilibrium, which so many policymakers & watchers take for granted;

One must, right off the bat, acknowledge the outsized importance of #Zawiyah actors in today’s NW Libya configuration.
The most zealous pro-Dabaiba fighters on 5/17 in #Tripoli were led by #Bahrun.
& the #Buzeriba forces (who didn’t fight on 5/17) are ferociously anti-Dabaiba.

Other #local antagonisms that became evident on 5/17 in Tripoli include Mustafa Qaddur’s animosity vs. his #Mukhabarat superior & Dabaiba ally Hussein al-#Ayeb.
Nawassi — which holds a major grudge against Bahrun, too — coordinates w/ Buzeriba & Wershefana’s Muammar al-Dhawi.

My new piece:
Three recent incidents indicate that #Erdogan has been getting ready for a significant move, probably a transformation that will change Turkey forever.
Elevated Police Intel
ISIS leader's ties to Turkey
A Pathway to Caliphate

@TIJournalism So, here are a few details:
On January 17, 2020, Erdogan issued a new presidential decree, elevating the status of the Turkish National Police TNP Intelligence Dpt. to a Directorate, essentially to a #Mukhabarat for the protection of his regime through torture, kidnappings, etc.

@TIJournalism The second, development took place during a January 2, 2020 speech:
#Erdogan said, “We have come to a point where we can longer ensure the security of our cities and maintain the order inside with police forces. In the face of this new situation, we need to develop new methods.”

In Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, proceedings are underway in #ACHPR64, the 64th Ordinary Session of @ACHPR. The conditions are far from conducive. The Egyptian Mukhabarat are stifling advocacy & harassing NGO advocates with a systematic obstacle course of manufactured difficulties
Groups attending #ACHPR64 are finding that visas are difficult to get. Yesterday, after facing serious frustration, @ACHPR negotiated for some groups to travel on the condition that they would get visas on arrival. That experience was worse than an ordeal
Registration has proved difficult. Agents of the Mukhabarat are everywhere, rifling through documents & bags. Their excuse is counter-terrorism presumably. But a few participants are complaining of documents disappearing from their bags & rooms just like that at #ACHPR64
