Egyptian activists urge investigation into Qatar-backed terrorism in Libya

A cohort of Egyptian human rights advocates have urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to investigate Qatar’s role in funding terrorism in Libya, Ahram Online reports. The group claims that Qatar stands in violation of UN global counter-terrorism strategy by backing armed terrorist groups such as the Ikhwan. The call for investigation came on the sidelines of the ongoing UNHCR session in Geneva. Qatar continues to face hostility from the GCC and Egypt over similar allegations levied back in 2017.
