The mayor of the municipality of Kufra, Abdul Rahman Aqoub, said that the crisis of displaced Sudanese is constantly evolving, and the number of displaced people increases as the intensity of the clashes in Sudan increases, especially in the cities of Mellit and Darfur, as they are closer to Libya.
The mayor of Kufra municipality added, in an intervention with Libya Al-Ahrar channel, that the rate of infections with infectious diseases is on the rise, confirming the deportation of more than 100 infected people, according to what he said.
The mayor of the municipality, Abdul Rahman Aqoub, explained that there are obstacles facing the shelter center in transporting the injured to Sudan, stressing that there are cases that are difficult to hand over at the border triangle because there is sometimes no one to receive them, according to what he said.
Aqoub pointed out the lack of capabilities in all service sectors in the city of Kufra, and there is no place designated or prepared to receive the displaced, whose numbers were estimated at approximately a thousand people per day, especially in recent days.
The mayor of the municipality, Aqoub, pointed out the lack of any support from governments despite the correspondence, pointing to the formation of a committee headed by the Libyan ambassador to Sudan, Fawzi Bouamrez, and the membership of the mayor of Kufra and some security and foreign agencies. The meeting took place once in Tripoli, but it did not find any support, according to him.
Aqoub pointed out that the health sector needs special support, explaining that the number of people in Kufra has increased to more than double its population in the recent period, according to him.

US Vetoes Resolution on Palestinian Statehood at UN
inal ideas and information intact, but present them in a fresh and engaging way.
The Complexities of the Palestinian UN Membership Bid
Recently, the United States vetoed a Palestinian bid for full membership in the United Nations Security Council. This decision has sparked controversy and raised important questions about the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
While the Palestinian Authority has garnered support from approximately 140 countries for their bid, the Security Council’s veto highlights the challenges and complexities of the situation. The Council’s support for the idea of two states living side by side in secure and recognized borders adds another layer of nuance to the debate.
The Palestinian desire for statehood in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, territories occupied by Israel since 1967, reflects a deep-rooted aspiration for self-determination and sovereignty. However, the presence of radical groups like Hamas in Gaza complicates the path to peace and stability.
It is crucial to recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people while also addressing the security concerns of Israel. Finding a balanced and sustainable solution that ensures the rights and security of both Israelis and Palestinians is essential for lasting peace in the region.
Innovative Approaches to Peacebuilding
- Engaging in dialogue and negotiations with all relevant parties, including moderate Palestinian leaders and Israeli officials, to build trust and find common ground.
- Investing in economic development and infrastructure projects in Palestinian territories to improve living conditions and foster stability.
- Empowering civil society organizations and grassroots movements to promote peace, tolerance, and mutual understanding among Israelis and Palestinians.
- Supporting international efforts to mediate and facilitate peace talks, with a focus on addressing core issues such as borders, security, refugees, and Jerusalem.
By exploring new avenues for cooperation and reconciliation, the international community can help pave the way for a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is time to move beyond traditional paradigms and embrace innovative approaches that prioritize peace, justice, and security for all.
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Let us work together towards a future where Israelis and Palestinians can coexist in peace and prosperity, guided by the principles of justice, equality, and mutual respect.

Exploring the Palestinian UN Membership Issue
The recent veto by the United States on the Palestinian bid for full membership in the United Nations Security Council has once again brought the longstanding conflict between Israel and Palestine to the forefront of international attention. The complex dynamics of the region, with its history of occupation, violence, and competing claims to land, make any resolution a challenging endeavor.
While the Palestinian Authority seeks recognition as a full member of the UN, the presence of Hamas, a militant group considered a terrorist organization by many, complicates the situation. The question of which Palestinian entity to support becomes crucial in the decision-making process. The fear of jeopardizing future negotiations looms large, as any unilateral actions could hinder the prospects of a two-state solution.
With over 140 countries already recognizing Palestine as a state, the path to full UN membership seems clear in the General Assembly. However, the Security Council’s support is essential for a binding resolution. The Council’s longstanding endorsement of a two-state solution underscores the need for a peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine.
The aspirations of the Palestinian people for a state encompassing the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem reflect their desire for self-determination and sovereignty. The historical context of Israeli occupation and annexation adds complexity to the territorial disputes and power struggles in the region.
The internal divisions within the Palestinian leadership, with the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza, further complicate the path to statehood. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas exacerbates tensions and hinders progress towards a peaceful resolution.
Innovative Solutions for Peace
Amidst the challenges and obstacles, innovative solutions are needed to pave the way for lasting peace in the region. Dialogue, diplomacy, and a commitment to international law are essential components of any resolution. Engaging all stakeholders, including Israel, Palestine, and regional actors, in constructive negotiations is crucial.
A comprehensive peace plan that addresses the core issues of borders, security, refugees, and Jerusalem is necessary for a sustainable solution. International support and mediation can help bridge the gaps between the conflicting parties and build trust for meaningful dialogue.
Economic development, social empowerment, and cultural exchange can also contribute to building bridges between communities and fostering understanding and cooperation. Investing in education, healthcare, and infrastructure can create opportunities for growth and prosperity for all people in the region.
Ultimately, a commitment to peace, justice, and equality for all is essential for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By embracing a vision of coexistence and mutual respect, the path to a peaceful and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians can be realized.
ko by znamenalo podporu terorismu a násilí.
Proti americkému vetu se postavily země jako Francie, Velká Británie, Rusko a Čína, které vyjádřily podporu palestinskému členství v OSN. Francouzský ministr zahraničí Jean-Yves Le Drian uvedl, že Francie bude nadále podporovat vytvoření palestinského státu na základě hranic před rokem 1967 s Jeruzalémem jako společným hlavním městem pro Izrael a Palestinu.
Problém izraelsko-palestinského konfliktu je jedním z nejdelších a nejkomplikovanějších ve světě a jeho řešení je stále v nedohlednu. Mezinárodní společenství se snaží najít cestu k mírovému řešení, ale dosud se nepodařilo dosáhnout trvalého a spravedlivého kompromisu mezi oběma stranami.

Istat: Italy’s well-being improves, but not the environment and safety. Poverty is not decreasing
The risk of poverty is not reduced (20.1% of the population)
In 2021, the average family income (33,798 euros) began to grow again both in nominal terms (+3%) and in real terms (+1%). The net income inequality index also improved, recording a value of 5.6, decreasing compared to the previous year (it was 5.9 in 2020) and with values slightly lower than the pre-pandemic ones (it was equal to 5 .7 in 2019): in the absence of family support measures (emergency transfers and citizenship income), the inequality index would have been equal to 6.4, a value much higher than that observed.
The population at risk of poverty remains substantially stable compared to the previous three years, equal to 20.1% in 2022. Absolute poverty from 2019 to 2023 (historical series reconstructed according to the new estimation methodology) presents a growth in individual incidence. In 2019 it had fallen to 7.6% coinciding with the introduction of Citizenship Income, a monetary transfer not indexed to inflation like other social welfare benefits. In 2020, the incidence started to grow again, reaching 9.1%. and remaining stable in 2021. In 2022, the incidence increases again to 9.7%, largely due to the strong acceleration in inflation which has particularly affected less well-off families and remains substantially stable with 9.8 % in 2023.
Waiving treatment due to financial problems or waiting lists
In 2023, approximately 4.5 million citizens have had to give up medical visits or diagnostic tests due to economic problems, waiting lists or access difficulties, 7.6% of the population (increasing compared to 7.0% in 2022 and 6.3% in 2019), probably due to recovery of healthcare benefits deferred for COVID-19 and difficulty in effectively reorganizing healthcare). There is a doubling of the share of those who gave up due to waiting list problems (from 2.8% in 2019 to 4.5% in 2023), while the number of people who gave up for economic reasons remained stable (from 4.3% in 2019 to 4 .2% in 2023), but still increasing compared to 2022: +1.3 percentage points in just one year. In 2023, life expectancy is equal to 83.1 years and is increasing compared to 2022 (82.3), almost completely recovering the 2019 level (83.2 years). Men with 81.1 years of expected average life return to the same level as in 2019, while for women (85.2 years) there is still 0.2 years to go (85.4 in 2019). Healthy life expectancy in 2023 is equal to 59.2 years and is reduced compared to 60.1 years in 2022. This reduction has brought the indicator back almost to the 2019 level (58.6 years), reducing the anomalous increase occurred between 2020 and 2022 due to the subjective component, as a result of the more widespread perception of good health conditions in times of pandemic.
Work, non-participation is close to 15%
Very large gaps concern the measures of the Work and life balance domain: in Italy in 2023 the rate of non-participation in work (14.8%) exceeds the EU27 average by almost six percentage points (8.7%); the employment rate is 9.1 percentage points lower than the European average (75.4%) and the percentage of people working involuntarily part time (10.2% in 2022), despite having been decreasing for four years, is almost three times the average of the 27 countries of the Union (3.6%).
All education and training measures place Italy lower than the EU27 average. The greatest distances concern the share of people aged 25-34 who have acquired a tertiary level of education (43.1% in the EU27%; 30.6% in Italy) and the greater incidence of young people who do not work or study : the latter, also defined as NEET, have however fallen significantly in the last period to 16.1% compared to 19%, even if they remain above the EU average of 11.2%,
