Why is Libya, the scene of an international conflict?

in Turkey, israel, Russia, France, germany, Italy, and Egypt: a random sample of the countries involved in the war in Libya. The North African country has over the past ten years of political chaos, and it does not seem likely that there is a quick end to this will come to pass. Sunday, Germany, and a summit's in Berlin, where, in addition to warring parties as well as other international nations such as China and the united states at all times.

In israel, reigns after the death of dictator Muammar Kaddafi in 2011, the chaos of war. Two of the major forces creating the service: the internationally recognized government headed by prime minister Fayez Al Sarraj has its seat in the capital of Tripoli and parts of the west, is in your hands. In the east, makes it to general Khalifa Haftar and the service.

for a number of months, Haftar engaged in a march on Tripoli. Turkey, therefore, decided at the beginning of January the troops into the country to the city to defend it.

the Attempts of Russia and Turkey, both of which are involved in the conflict, in order to have a cease-fire agreement, there are, as yet, be unsuccessful.

But, first, whom to support are actually those who are in a conflict?

as for The government, led by Al Sarraj was established in the year 2015 under the auspices of the united nations. The EU acknowledges that Al Sarraj, as the leader of Libya, but France-based, for example, Haftar.

in France, sees Haftar as a leader with whom they can work together, says a researcher, Jalel Harchaoui, from the Clingendael Institute. According to him, it is in France Al Sarraj "is not a bad man, but weak.

you are Currently enjoying Haftar was supported by Russia, but, according to Harchaoui, it would still be able to change it. This would put Russia on Sunday, still has an important role to play.

Both Al Sarraj, when Haftar will be the logistics or military personnel supported by international allies.

those Who support Al Sarraj? Italy, Turkey and Qatar, Who support Haftar? Egypt, France, Russia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Why is it in the interest of those countries, Libya is so great? < / p>

" Libya has the potential to be a major player in the international community. The country has the largest oil reserves in Africa, where there are multiple parties with an interest in. Thus, Italy is a major importer of oil and natural gas from Libya, and Turkey, to benefit from a partner to the Mediterranean Sea for gas with it and win.

But it is not only the warring parties can benefit from the situation in the country, such as the guest list of the summit's shows, the other big players are interested in. The USA is not buying oil from Libya, says Harchaoui, but it will be the country's raw materials to export to the international oil trade at this level.

Not only do raw materials play an important role in the conflict. Neighboring Egypt, for example, that general Haftar, are goals you can reach, in order to peace and quiet in their own country, and to keep it. What is happening in Tripoli is done, stir in Egypt, according to Harchaoui, not so much.

However, the borders of Egypt to the eastern part of Libya, and maintains Haftar is currently in the rest of the region. "Under him, at the moment there is a unity in the middle east. If Haftar fails, you can fall apart."

on Saturday he warned the Turkish president, Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, in an op-ed in the Politico to the increased risk of terrorism in the region, as well as the new migratory flows towards Europe and, as a result of the continued escalation of the war in Libya. According to Harchaoui, play, migration, and terrorism, however, it is not real and play a role in the conflict.

"The influx of refugees through the Mediterranean route, from Libya, was the heftigst from 2013 to 2017, a month, ten thousand to fifteen thousand of the refugees. In the meantime, these are but a few of the hundreds and hundreds," says Harchaoui.

you may Also use terrorism, according to Harchaoui there is no major risk. "It IS very small, and is reduced in the area, as well as the current war, they have no reason to be now, too."

In the neighboring Sahel region, which is the whole of Africa, runs the flourishing of terrorist organizations, however.

for example, If it is then it is mainly in order to economic interests, it seems to go on and on to the issues of migration, terrorism, and homeland security, why is it Sunday yet, so a lot of people together? "They will have to face preventable," says Harchaoui. Everyone wants to play on the stage.

"Turkey, indeed, the show is stolen by the military support promise and the other party, but also the countries that have no military or logistic support, to show that they can handle."

however, There is still no agreement, let alone a solution to, the Clingendael expert. "But, you still have to do something about it."
