After Sunday’s beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by the ISIS affiliate in Libya, the Egyptian military junta wasted no time in launching “retaliatory” strikes against ISIS forces.
Unfortunately, Egypt’s airstrikes were not particularly accurate, and at least seven civilians, including three children, have been confirmed killed in the airstrikes against the coastal city of Derna, near the Egyptian border.
To make matters worse, ISIS was out in force in the wake of the attacks, moving against other Egyptian civilians in the cities under their control. Reports are that at least 35 more Egyptians have been captured by ISIS, again in “retaliation” for attacks that were themselves retaliatory.
There were at least two rounds of airstrikes against ISIS targets in Derna and Sirte, and Egyptian officials claimed they’d killed scores of ISIS fighters. Most of the attacks centered on training camps.
The Egyptian junta has been backing Libyan General Khalifa Hifter in his attempts to take over the country, first in a coup against the parliament and then on behalf of the parliament that replaced them. Egypt has launched a handful of airstrikes in support of Hifter’s force, though they control very little of the nation.
The ISIS faction in Libya was originally an unaffiliated Islamist faction in the nation’s northeast. Since pledging allegiance to ISIS, the group has become much more powerful and influential, and has carried out operations in several cities across Libya.
“the ISIS affiliate in Libya” So… what is that affiliation? where is that documented? Is this propaganda language supposed to raise support the US backed military coup government in Egypt?
I don't think nihilits brandishing pirate flags and proclaiming themselves with Allah in spite of all evidence to the countrary will go to the next government office and duly document their "affiliation" (registered after payment of a requisite tax stamp)
It has been claimed the killing of those poor Egyptians took place near Tripoli and that's not true.No one knows where it happened.
There several Egyptians being held against their will by Hafter forces in tank battalion 204 camp in Benghazi apparently for refusing to join his forces.They have been held hostages for over two month and Egyptian government have chosen to nothing about them since they are held by their stooge.
The Egyptian government have not provided any names of those whom it claimed were murdered.
Hafter was facing imminent defeat and Sissi is trying to save their plot against Libya .
Sissi have killed over a thousands Egyptians in one day for simply opposing his coup>There over 40000 political prisoners in Sissi jails.
If thins are so bad at home look for external threats to silent the hungry masses.
The mess in Libya is the work of Hafter who is relying on outside support from United Arab Emirates ,Egypt ,and Saudi Arabia who they wantsee another dictator rule over Libya.
Maybe the new hostages were taken because SIsi has been supporting "Adolph" Hifter. 🙂
What a stupid wordplay. Hillary, is that you?
> The mess in Libya is the work of Hafter
The mess in Libya is the work of Hillary

A real American Revolution must save us — Or we shall surely die of the stupefying boredom
A US backed dictatorship called Egypt, it continues to bomb-terrorize civilians in Libya in support of a militarized dictatorship headed by a US backed General called Hefter, all so that Empire USA can have full spectrum dominance over the oil rich Middle-East.
All because the right people are being bribed with the right amount of dollars, no religion, politics or philosophy involved, just a low cost production run by a bunch of Empire builders working out of the CIA
Well, this is going to become far worse than the mass killings of Algeria of the 90s.
It's not going to become better until ISIS membership has been reduced by extreme prejudice, but a lot of innocents will be caught up in it.
The Algerian security apparatus was involved in many of what took place in the 90's by disguising themselves by wearing fake beards and dress accordingly and committed many killings that they conveniently blamed on Islamist which in turn gave them free hands to eliminate large number of people in the name of fighting terrorism.Remember that there were elections that were canceled when the ruling socialist party was sure to lose ,and the military took over the country following orders from western power especially France that did not want the Algerians have their say.The military initiated a campaign of terror against those deemed threat very similar to what took place in Egypt. But who is really ISIS and who is controlling it quite a mystery.Who is benefiting from its actions should also be asked.
Hafter was passed over for leadership positions when he came back to Libya. When he led Libyan forces in Chad ,he forced very young kids into services and known for getting rid of those who were severely mimed and disfigured.He committed several atrocities in the war against Chad.His dark history is very well known to most Libyans.He has very little support in Libya.He is and his cronies are behind most of the kidnapping,disappearance ,assassinations,holding people for ransom, criminal activities ,robberies and eliminations of advasries and those who stand in his way.Most of his militia is made up of hard core crminals whom he freed from Benghazi prisons.
