According to Middle East Monitor's Yemen News Portal, Turkey, which has been increasingly active in humanitarian outreach operations among Muslim Brotherhood controlled territories in Yemen is sending Yemeni mercenaries to Libya. Released intelligence reports indicated that approximately 200 Yemenis arrived in Libya to fight with the Al-Wefaq and GNA.  As MeMo reports,  militias affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood's Al Islah party in Marib sent fighters to Turkey under the guise of receiving treatment in the hospital. From the hospital  they were allegedly transferred to Tripoli. There is speculation that the Islah party is trying to form a military alliance with Turkey by sending mercenaries to fight for Ankara in Libya, amid increasing reports of a possible Turkish intervention in Yemen.  Note: Middle East Monitor is a Qatar-backed publications. Meanwhile, reports of human rights abuses by the Turkey-backed GNA militias, continue to accumulate. Abdel-Hamid Almdota informs

Ibrahim,  Al-Qadi, director of the health office in Al-Qurbubli area, was abducted on  06/28/2020  by the gangs present in the area. This follows a pattern of high level abductions by militias, GNA affiliates, and Turkey. Reports of the International Mission reveal the injury of 2 citizens of the State of  Niger  who were previously tortured on the basis of their race by the Al-Wefaq militia during the interrogations. After exposing them, a pro-GNA twitter account known as Volcano Anger published disinformation to mislead public opinion, claiming that they were injured by the mines planted by Russia's Wagner mercenaries.  Translation of the tweet: "Operation_Berkan_Anger: two workers of Nigerian nationality were injured as a result of a landmine planted by the terrorist Haftar militia and a Wagner mercenary gang in residential neighborhoods south of Tripoli, before they were defeated and fleeing from them #Tripoli_Tasrah # Sart_return # We will not go back to restrictions #Lib

06-25-2020: The human trafficker and fuel smuggler Abd al-Rahman al-Miladi, nicknamed #Bidja, a militia leader in Al Zawiya, in a live broadcast on a personal account on Facebook, denies the charges against him by Pashaga, who are thought to be making many mistakes.  The most prominent in the video comments from the video: " We are under the legitimacy of the state, and what was provided by Al-Zawiya was not provided by anyone - I am the one who arrested illegal immigrants since 2017, not the state or the coast guard.  Tripoli officials have no ambition but to drink coffee and to relax at night. We will not hand over any of the wanted people to Al-Zawiyah in Tripoli."  He continues: "We did not receive any cars from Tripoli during the war and fought with our own cars - Awlad Issa’s area in Warsfana has kidnapping to this day and no one has held them accountable, so why are they talking about the Bedja !!! - We didn’t have it before, to the Tagourian pig and its proximity

It appears that GNA-affiliated militias are far from united, with intermittent clashes going on among various groups. Furthermore, there is evidence that under Erdogan's orders, the Syrian mercenaries directed by Turkish advisors, are shelling some of the militias that have apparently either outlived their usefulness or are having their differences with the general direction of the confict and/or with the Syrians. Militias in question are from Al-Zawiyah, Gharyan,  and Misurata militia.  Gharyan, Zintan and Sorman militias are supported by  Misurata; however, now that their duties are over, Turkey may choose to liquidate them in order to obtain control over the areas and consolidate military power via the Syrians. While these clashes are taking place, militia cooperation with former ISIS members continues.  Hamza Etweer, a former ISIS member from Gharyan, loyal to the Shura of Derna and a group of Shura members who fought with him, abducted two people known to be civilians supporti

As the tensions between Egypt, LNA, and GNA/Turkey are heating up, according to local sources, GNA affiliated militias were overheard discussing the possibility of cutting off electricity and/or Internet access in the Benghazi area in order to weaken LNA support and as a form of information warfare and control. Part of the issue is the collective punishment of the Haftar supporters. The other issue is prevention of further successful electronic attack by the LNA electronic support. Meanwhile, scuffles among various groups continue on the ground.

Saraya Ansar , the a Shia Iran-backed Iraqi militia, enters Libya to support Turkey. This confirms reports of a recently concluded security cooperation agreement between Iran and Turkey, as well as rumors of close cooperation between the two countries on security and defense issues.
