'If this becomes another protracted conflict, it poses another problem for European countries and the UN knows it might face one more large-scale refugee crisis.”
Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar's violent offensive against the UN-sanctioned government in Tripoli has complicated peace-building in the region since 2015 and the support of regional powers such as UAE, France, and Egypt to the renegade general has left the UN in a tight spot.
"If at all Haftar takes control over Libya, it would be a huge blow for the US in terms of benefiting from the country's regional resources such as gas and oil," Merve Seren, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Turkey's Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, told TRT World. On December 20, Sarraj called on the US, the UK, Algeria and Turkey to "activate the security cooperation accords" and help him "push back the attack on Tripoli, led by any armed group."
Samuel Ramani, a DPhil candidate in International Relations at the University of Oxford, told TRT World that Russia's resurgence in Libya has certainly been enabled by Haftar's offensive.
