Fierce battles are raging in Hasakah, a city in the far northeast of Syria, between two separate terrorist groups. ‘Sultan Murad’ and the ‘Al Hamza Division’ terrorist groups in Abo Rasen, northwest of Hasakah.

The story-line of this new movie seems to be from a “Hollywood” script: terrorists, battle scenes, and prison torture.  However, it is based on a true story unfolding in Libya.  “Shugaley” tells the story of a Russian sociologist, and his translator, who were captured in May 2019 by terrorists in Libya on the orders of the Government of National Accord (GNA).

As reports focus on the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic worldwide, stories regarding the state of affairs in Libya have all but disappeared from pages of leading media outlets. But in the meantime, recent events in this country are increasingly indicative of the fact that the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), led by Fayez al-Sarraj, is in its death throes.
