  2. Podiumsgespräch "Europas tödliche #Grenzpolitik: Eine Anklage" am 31. Mai im Pfauensaal, im Schauspielhaus Zürich!

    Wann: 31. Mai, 19:30 Uhr
    Wo: Pfauensaal, Schauspielhaus (Rämistrasse 34, 8001 Zürich)
    Tickets: schauspielhaus.ch/de/kalender/

    #Europa finanziert Milizen in #Libyen, die #Geflüchtete foltern und versklaven. #Refugees in #Libya, eine selbstorganisierte Bewegung von Überlebenden, kämpft dagegen an: vor dem Internationalen Strafgerichtshof, in Parlamenten, und auf der Strasse leisten sie unbeirrbar Widerstand.

    Auf dem Podium im Schauspielhaus geht es um die Situation an dieser europäischen Aussengrenze und den Widerstand dagegen. Es sprechen der Aktivist David #Yambio, Mitgründer und Sprecher von Refugees in Libya, und die Juristin Miriam Saage-Maaß vom European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) - moderiert von Carlos Hanimann (Republik).

    Die beiden sind involviert in eine Klage am internationalen Strafgerichtshof. Sie werfen libyschen und europäischen Akteur:innen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit an diesen Aussengrenzen vor. Kann eine solche Klage die Situation verändern? Und warum darf der Widerstand nicht in den Gerichtssälen enden?

    Sprache: Englisch und Deutsch (Simultanübersetzung in beide Richtungen)

  4. Horseshoe theory is bullshit. Liberalism is a disease. Liberal is, in fact, an insult used by fascists and leftists alike, for different reasons. Liberals and fascists are both morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt. But these are just descriptors.

    Fascists insult liberals for weakness, diversity, proceduralism, or insufficient ethnonational purity.

    Leftists insult liberals for collaboration with domination while pretending neutrality.

    Same word, different indictment. The key distinction is function.

    A liberal government may speak of human rights while backing massacres. A fascist movement may discard the human-rights language and embrace domination more openly.

    Different rhetoric, sometimes overlapping material outcomes.

    I won't speak about theory in a vacuum, but let's talk about historical and material conditions and the imperial boomerang across settler-colonial states, imperial powers, and postcolonial formations shaped by empire. Let's start there.

  5. “False Flag Sniper Massacres: A Tool Of The CIA's Regime Change Playbook: When Looking At Various CIA Regime Change Operations, A Deeply Disturbing Trend Appears”

    by The Dissident on Substack

    “When looking a recent U.S. regime change operations in #Venezuela (2002), #Syria (2011-2024), #Libya (2011), #Ukraine (2014) and #Iran (2026), one deeply disturbing pattern emerges: mysterious snipers that shoot at civilian protestors, which is then used to encourage violence and justify regime change”

  6. Longest international airport runways of North Africa

    Provided below is a list of the longest international airport runways in North Africa. For purposes of this post, North Africa is defined as Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Western Sahara.

    Cairo International Airport – Source: forum.wordldairports.com

    Despite the reference to international airports in the post title, some of the airports listed do not have “international” in their name. Similarly, there are some airports with “international” in their name that do not offer flights outside their home nation. This list tries to identify those that actually offer international flights (regardless of their name), which have runway(s) a minimum of 10,000 feet in length.

    Peace!

  10. Message from #refugees in #Libya, whose torturer will be tried in the #ICC:

    ‼️ ALL ATTENTION TO THE ICC: We Built the Evidence. Now Join Us in Building Justice. Stand With Us on 18–21 May 2026 | The Hague

    Dear Comrades, Civil Rescue organisations, the Civil Fleet, and all solidarity networks across Europe,

    On 19 May 2026, a moment long denied arrives: for the first time in history, one of our torturers—a Libyan suspect accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes—will appear before the International Criminal Court. The Confirmation of Charges hearing in the case of Khaled Mohamed Ali El Hishri is not simply a legal milestone, but a confrontation with a structure that has enjoyed impunity for far too long.

    This case exists because we, the survivors, refused silence. We spoke under threat, carried the evidence, and endured repeated interceptions, detentions, tortures, enslavement, rapes, and systematic dehumanisation. We built the very places where we were imprisoned. Yes! We know the perpetrators. We know the system.

    We demand justice. Rescue at sea saves lives, but without accountability, the conditions producing deaths at sea and in torture camps designed to contain people seeking safety will continue. Every interception, every forced return, every detention centre, every act of violence—these, as you know, are not isolated incidents. They are the direct outcome of policies funded, coordinated, and sustained by European states.

    The crimes committed at Mitiga do not stand alone either. They are part of a broader detention system inseparable from the Italy–Libya Memorandum, EU-funded interceptions, cooperation with Libyan militias under the label of “coast guard,” and the wider architecture of migration containment. You know this. And because you know this, this moment demands more than solidarity. It demands position and responsibility.

    We call on the civil fleet, rescue organisations, and all allied networks to speak and act with clarity and urgency.

    We expect you to be present in The Hague between 18–21 May:

    On 18 May, we will hold a protest in front of the ICC building to make visible to the Court that EU institutions and politicians must not be excluded from accountability and should be investigated. In the evening, we will host a film screening and discussion on Libya’s detention industry.

    Between May 19–21, join us for the hearing at the ICC which will be open to the public via the public gallery.

    For those who cannot reach The Hague:

    Mobilise publicly across European cities. Organise actions in front of Libyan embassies, EU institutions, and national governments. Use your platforms, vessels, and networks to make this hearing impossible to ignore. This is not an external struggle but part of the work you already carry out at sea.

    What happens in this confirmation of charges hearing will shape what international justice is willing to see—and what it is willing to ignore. If migrants and refugees are not fully recognised as victims, the conditions that produce their suffering will remain intact.

    We have done our part. We have spoken, documented, and carried the truth to one of the doors of justice. Now we expect you to stand where it matters and act, because without justice, rescue will remain a repetition.

    This fight does not begin in The Hague, and it does not end at sea.

    In urgency and shared responsibility,
    ​Refugees in Libya
