@Lina_Serene Lina my humble opinion is that we shouldn’t publicise this day too much. It feels like we’re helping the coward that wanted to spread fear on that day.

Earlier this year, I travelled to Libya on a shoot to investigate the Wagner group and their impact on local population. Below, the director of our film @nicksturdee writes an excellent long-read for @newlinesmag about the making of our doc:

Epic reportage on the Wagner Group, building off @nicksturdee 's deep-dive into what was found on a tablet recovered in Libya. The Russian merc's reading list includes "Women: A Textbook for Men," "The Ultimate Guide to Kink" -- oh, and "Mein Kampf":

It is upsetting to see that Andanov was able to travel to participate in the invasion of Ukraine even though he was suspected of committing war crimes in Libya in 2019 and earlier in the Donbas region in 2014/2015

With everything that's happening in Ukraine, we need to be reminded of the atrocities being committed by Russian mercenaries outside of Europe, so this is very timely.

Libya, Jan 2020. CCTV shows a group of young men in the last 5 seconds of their lives. Moments later, they’re hit by a strike for which no one has ever claimed responsibility. What hit them? Where did it come from? Which foreign powers are secretly fuelling Libya’s war? THREAD
