Whoa !!!!
#Libya | Commander at El-Marsa Brigade warn that latest BAM statement re GNC may cause division among anti-ISIS fighters in Sirte
Army officers held large meetng in Tripoli in presence of PC & StateCouncil members. Serraj called for the unification of the armed forces
On the issue of Salvation govt's return, Sarraj said he was "dealing with the incident wisely to avoid bloodshed" and vowed to take action
The closing statement of the meeting referred to Khalifa Haftar as "war criminal"
#Libya: only place on earth where so called military 'officers' & 'politicians' guarded by militias gather to declare war on national army!
To re-establish stability, peace and security in #Libya the country need just and well functioning institutions as well as strong governance
Salem Gneidi: Nothing of this wd have happened if the GNA had come to Tripoli in the right manner. But it was dead from the first day
Salem Gneidi: The conflict is now over the Presidency HQs because whoever seizes it considers himself the winner
Salem Gneidi: Serraj should resign and we should go back to the fourth draft of the Political Agreement
Salem Gneidi: Mr. Serraj formed the Presidential Guard from militias & gunmen and he did not train them but only give them a mandate
#Libya UN envoy paints bleak picture of Libya. Says Libyans must accept Libya Political Agreement (constitution). https://unsmil.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=5662&ctl=Details&mid=6187&ItemID=2099756&language=en-US …
Hmm - W.B so grim despite oil production increasing for first time in years & possibility of Libya - Libya solution.
...and demanded that Thinni revoke his recent decision to withdraw al-Fakhri's ministerial functions & relegate him back to deputy minister
Participants demanded that Major-General Mohamed al-Madani al-Fakhri be confirmed as Interior Minister by the HoR
Another disaster for #Libya's judiciary. An administrative tribunal rules against Libyan Political Agreement & PC - declaring them illegal.
Misrata Coalition in conflict , even as Abdullah al-Thinni has met with Khalifa al-Ghwell, to discuss creating a unified Libya Govt.
Al- Thinni is correct on his assessment.....
Libya - Libya solution coming into view ?
Abdallah al-Thinni says he met w/ Khalifa Ghwell 3 months ago to follow up on t Libyan-Libyan dialogue led by Agila Saleh & Nuri Busahmain
Al-Thinni: PC failed in implementing the LPA, especially w/ regards to militias. In Tripoli they only control the coastal road & Martyr's Sq
Peter Millet: #Libya Central Bank to receive 1 Billion Dinar's in UK printed bank notes soon.

Spoke to a senior Syrian Kurdish official in Afrin confirms heavy shelling by Turkey on Kurdish towns & villages. Death & injuries reported
The death of critical journalism in Turkey http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/10/turkey-death-of-critical-journalism.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter …
Turkey's state-run news agency headline says OIC recognized Gulen movement as a terror group. Body says different thing.
1-Turkeys jihadis attacked SDF
2-SDF retaliated
3-SDF liberated several villages from IS
4-TR is bombing SDF
5-Russia is NOT bombing jihadis
Turkey apparently believes it is not just in the EU , but running it...
Evoking Ottoman past, Erdogan vows to tackle Turkey's enemies abroad http://reut.rs/2dnzH6q
Turkey gives EU to the end of the year to grant visa free travel to Turkey -or else EU -Turkey Deal dies.
Turkey A.F is participating in Mosul Campaign. Erdogan statement that Turkey would be involved proven correct.
#Erdogan: "We'll be both on the ground and at the negotiating table. We'll take part in #Mosul just like we do in #Syria now."
Erdogan says he talked to Putin, who promised him that Russia will cease bombardment of Aleppo.
After multiple reports of the terrible treatment of Turkish prisoners (beatings, rape, silencing etc) this is a human rights travesty.

ISIL orders the Mosulis to turn in their phone cards after full Asiacell network activation throughout Mosul
More than 900 Mosul residents flee to Syria following ISIS threats http://ow.ly/XzfM305kkMi
#Mosul ops expected 2last several month before defeating #ISIS. Nevertheless, intel consider there is a possibility of internal rebellion.
However, like in every battle, when #ISIS feels d battle is lost, many fighters leave the city (happen before in #Syria & #Iraq). Few remain
All forces r expected 2participate2 #Mosul ops but only the Army and federal Police along with anti terrorism sq are allowed inside the city
FYI: #Mosul ops is still far from Mosul city. Distance of Kurds & Iraqi security forces varies between 18 to 40 km from city center.
There are estimate 5000 (more or less) #ISIS militants in #Mosul and around it. They will fight for certain. No "9000 escaping" expected.
