Re: Eritrea’s role in breaking UN sanctions in Libya
...Now a second report has been published (see below). This argues that: “In the first quarter of the year (January-April 2020), the Emiratis organized more than 100 airlifters carrying weapons” – including flights from Assab.
There are also reports of supplies of fuel: “UAE companies have shipped about 11,000 tons of jet fuel to eastern Libya, the stronghold of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, in violation of the international arms embargo, the Financial Times reported.”
If these are accurate then Eritrea is in violation of UN Sanctions, which forbid the supply of weapons to Libya. The UAE is one of the main supporters of the forces of Khalifa Haftar, whose troops are attacking the UN recognised government in Tripoli.
This is what UN Security Council Resolution 1970 of 2011 concerning Libya requires of all UN member states:..

Gedab News April 21, 2020Gedab News 57
In the last few weeks, UAE airplanes transported hundreds of Sudanese mercenaries to Libya through an air bridge over Asmara, the Eritrean capital city.
Thousands of Sudanese mercenaries are fighting alongside both the government forces and the forces of General Hafter, the two warring sides in the Libyan conflict
Eritrean sources informed Gedab News that “unbranded airplanes operated by the UAE have been flying out of Asmara carrying mercenaries who arrive overland from Sudan.” The plain white painted airplanes mostly arrive and fly out of Asmara at dawn.
The sleepy Asmara airport serves a negligible number of flights except Ethiopian Airlines, the main carrier that runs regular daily flights to and out of Asmara.
Isaias Afwerki has close diplomatic and military relations with the UAE which supports General Hafter in his fight to oust the internationally recognized Libyan Government. Also, Isaias’ relation with the transitional government of Sudan is cold, contrary to his close relations with General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemdti), the = commander of the much-feared Sudanese Rapid Support Forces.
