UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations has not yet resumed using a shuttered border crossing to deliver aid to northwest Syria from Turkiye that Syria said it could use for another six months after UN Security Council approval of the route expired on Monday
The UN aid deliveries would have to be “in full cooperation and coordination with the Syrian Government,” Syria’s UN Ambassador Bassam Sabbagh wrote in a letter on Thursday to the Security Council.
BRUSSELS: Libya’s sovereign wealth fund has filed a criminal complaint against Belgium’s Prince Laurent, accusing him of fraud and extortion linked to his bid to reclaim funds from a failed reforestation project, lawyers said on Friday.
The royal household and the king’s cabinet did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The prince, brother of the king, and Libyan authorities signed a multimillion euro contract in 2008 aimed at reforesting desert regions of inland Libya. The project collapsed with the outbreak of civil war in Libya in 2011.
