The great carve-up: Libya's internationalised conflicts after Tripoli

Abstract: The yearlong offensive on Tripoli by Khalifa Haftar’s forces has suffered fatal set­backs, and Libya’s conflicts are changing shape. Russia's and Turkey's attempts at carving out spheres of influence are bound to collide with the interests of other for­eign powers and with the fluidity of Libya's political landscape. Haftar could face increasing challenges to his authority over eastern and southern Libya. Rivalries with­in the anti-Haftar alliance will also return to the fore. Foreign intervention and the deep rifts that the war has inflicted on Libyan society will be the key obstacles to a political settlement. Western states should focus on preserving Libya’s unity and countering Russian influence as a matter of priority. (Autorenreferat)
