US identifies GNA as a trusted partner
2019-11-04
[Libya Observer] The US State Department has described the Government of National Accord (GNA) as a "trusted partner in combating terrorism", saying that Washington will continue to cooperate with the GNA, in order to curb the spread of terrorist groups.

In its annual report on terrorism, the state department has said that Libya lacked an overarching law in this regard.

"Libya lacks a comprehensive anti-terrorism law, although the Libyan penal code criminalizes manifestations that threaten national security, including terrorism, encouraging terrorist acts and dealing with funds to support such acts, the report read.

What on earth concerns about Libya? Syria? Ukraine?
Where will this Shitshow end?

Are the Shitshow's ringmasters actually trying to.distract us from the threat of threats, the only truly existential threat to our security, which is China and its satrapy?

Well... yeah, it looks like that is indeed their plan.

#1  I hope whatever State Department lair sent to say this was with one hand holding a large rock behind his back and his other hand had his fingers crossed.
