[LIBYAREVIEW] Several employees of the state-owned General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) are being prosecuted by Libya’s Attorney General, al-Siddiq al-Sour on bribery charges, it was announced on Thursday.
In a blurb, al-Sour stated that the Public Prosecution’s investigations proved that GECOL employees had accepted illegal bribes, and violated the laws and regulations governing the management of public money.
Since 2011, Libya has been suffering from a deficit in energy production. Rolling power blackouts are a recurring problem in Libya, given the infrastructure does not generate enough capacity to meet demand, especially in the summer months when use is high. In turn, GECOL adopts a program of scheduled power outages hours on various cities and regions.

[AllAfrica] Authorities in Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... say there are seeing an increase in the number of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...

[AnNahar] The leaders of five Central Asian countries gathered for talks in Turkmenistan on Friday, with the spiral of war in neighboring Afghanistan topping their agenda as US-led forces lave the country.
The talks in the Caspian Sea town of Avaza come as the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... challenges Afghan government forces in several large cities after weeks of gains in the countryside, including in provinces next to the three former Soviet 'stans' that border the country -- Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Turkmen president Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov called Afghanistan "the question that worries all of us" on Wednesday as state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
showed him receiving his Tajikistan counterpart Emomali Rakhmon for bilateral talks ahead of the summit.
Russia, meanwhile, was involved in joint military drills close to Afghanistan's borders in both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as a top Kremlin military official flew into the region Thursday to observe the exercises and hold talks.
Fighting in Afghanistan's long-running conflict began to intensify in May, when US and other foreign forces began the withdrawal due to be completed later this month.
In June, the Taliban captured Afghanistan's main crossing with Tajikistan, Shir Khan Bandar, while Kabul's troops have been forced to retreat into both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in recent weeks during heavy fighting with the group.
The Taliban has insisted that it has no designs on Central Asia, and has established official contacts with both Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan as it casts itself as a government-in-waiting.
But analysts argue that a growing security vacuum in the country can pose its own threat to Central Asia, as well as the region's growing economic cooperation with Kabul.
Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian military's General Staff, arrived in Uzbekistan for talks Thursday, and to observe military drills that are expected to wrap up next week.
During a meeting with Uzbek counterpart Shukhrat Khalmukhamedov, Gerasimov said the drills took place "to practice actions to repel terrorist threats".
"The main threat to the Central Asian region today comes from the Afghan direction," Gerasimov said, noting that Moscow was increasing its supplies of weapons to the region.
The annual summit being held in Avaza is a rare instance of the Central Asian states convening for talks without powers from outside the region, such as Russia, China or the United States.
[Rudaw] Kurdish and Iraqi migrants colonists have flooded into Lithuania from the eastern European country of Belarus in what Lithuania says is a politically motivated move weaponising migrants colonists to pressure the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... to lift sanctions on Minsk.
"We are around 700 people here ... The number of Kurds are 400 to 500, we have people here whose family are in prison and their children are out [in the camp]. There are people in prison that have cancer, or heart problems. There is an old woman aged 80-90 years and she is in prison, where is the conscience and human rights

The U.S.Central Command statement can be seen here.
[IsraelTimes] Lapid praises response, insisting Tehran a global problem, not just an Israeli one; Gantz thanks Lloyd Austin for US leadership in effort, which was needed to bring Japan onboard.
The US Army’s Central Command published the findings of its investigation into the deadly attack, which determined that the drone that struck the Mercer Street was produced by Iran.
The Group of Seven leading industrialized countries on Friday jointly condemned last week’s attack on an oil tanker in the Arabian Sea and said evidence indicated Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... was behind the incident.

[Rudaw] Sipan Khalil buries her face in the shoulder of a relative as they hold each other tight, smiling through tears. After seven years in Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) captivity, Sipan is finally safe, in the loving embrace of her family.
On August 3, 2014, ISIS Lions of Islam took over the Shingal district of northern Iraq, committing genocide against the Yazidi minority. Thousands fled their homes as the Lions of Islam systematically killed men and older women, and enslaved younger women and kiddies. In the first days of the genocide, 1,293 people were killed and 6,417 people were kidnapped.
