Caabu condemns the ongoing Israeli government attacks on Palestinian civil society. This culminated in the listing and banning of six leading Palestinian NGOs on 22 October 2021, including human rights groups, as ‘terrorist organisations’.  

Caabu hosted an online panel discussion on the future for Libya's political roadmap on Thursday 14 October 2021. We were joined by Libyan activist and author, Asma Khalifa, senior research fellow with the MENA programme at Chatham House, Tim Eaton and Tarek Megerisi a policy fellow with the North Africa and Middle East programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
