The Radio France Internationale website suggested that the recent rapprochement between Egypt and Turkey will play a major role in creating a path to ease tensions in Libya between “competing factions.”
Commenting on the Central Bank crisis, Jalal Harchaoui, a researcher at the Royal United Services Institute, was quoted by the French website as saying: “Although it has been partially repaired, there are still issues that need attention, and also the repercussions of the conflict are still ongoing.”
The French website indicated that Libya was previously a point of competition between Turkey and Egypt, as Cairo supports the Libyan administration in the east in Benghazi, led by Khalifa Haftar, and Ankara supports the national unity government in Tripoli, in the west of the country.
“Both countries can at least push the government in Tripoli to accept something or come to the lowest terms they can agree on, so this is a win-win situation for both,” said Murat Aslan of the SETA Political, Economic and Social Research Foundation, a pro-Turkish government think tank. Egypt and Turkey.”
Radio France pointed out that the economic benefits resulting from cooperation in Libya are a strong motivation for Egypt and Turkey, in light of the crisis that the two countries are experiencing.
Libyan security analyst Aya Bourouila said, “Egypt and Turkey have found a way to divide areas and work together, as Turkish companies have concluded lucrative deals and deals in the field of infrastructure, just as Egypt did.”
According to Radio France, Ankara is looking to Cairo to use its influence over Haftar to support an agreement it concluded with the National Unity Government in Tripoli to explore energy reserves that are widely believed to exist in Libyan waters, while Cairo is pressing to remove Dabaiba from the National Unity Government.
