UN experts uncover secret mission in Libya, which included private operatives from UK, US, South Africa among others, to block Turkish shipments to Tripoli-based government

Citing "a confidential UN report" which it said was seen by German news agency DPA, it said an "unmasked" secret mission of private western forces in Libya had at least 20 operatives from Australia, France, Malta, South Africa, Britain and the United States.

The mercenaries travelled to Libya via a cargo plane in Jordan at the end of June 2019 and were travelling on behalf of the scientific community to carry out "geophysical and hyperspectral investigations" in Libya on behalf of Jordan.

Earlier this year, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said more than 2,000 Russian Wagner mercenaries were fighting in the war-ravaged country. Six military helicopters were obtained in South Africa in mid-June 2019 and then flown to Benghazi in Libya, a Haftar stronghold, the report said.
