A former Tunisian Foreign Minister revealed the role played by Egypt in the Libyan crisis.
In a statement to the Tunisian radio station “Mosaique FM”, which was followed by “Ain Libya”, former Minister Ahmed Wanis considered that the recent military movements in Libya open the door to foreign interventions, especially Egypt.
Wanis explained that Khalifa Haftar wants to impose an armed solution on the rest of the parties, and these are moves that expose the absence and inability of the Greater Maghreb Union.
The former minister spoke about what he called the opportunism of the Libyan parties who benefit from the distribution of wealth without taking into account the future of the country and its unity, in addition to the opportunism of neighboring countries that give priority to the military solution at the expense of the political solution.
The former Foreign Minister pointed out the caution on the Tunisian side, which does not want to suggest to the Libyans that it has interests in Libya and calls for a spirit of sacrifice from everyone and to overcome the crisis on its own.
Wanis explained that the absence of a Maghreb Union opens the way for Egyptian intervention, which can achieve successes in the current circumstances, which requires intensifying consultations with the Maghreb Union countries despite the crisis between Morocco and Algeria, and more coordination with Mauritania so that the Libyan crisis remains within the Maghreb sphere.
It is noteworthy that Ahmed Ounis was born in the capital Tunis in 1936. He is a Tunisian diplomat and politician who worked as an ambassador in both Moscow and New Delhi. He then became close to the opposition during the era of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, where he attended its activities and lectured on its platforms. After the Tunisian revolution and Ben Ali’s departure from power, he was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the government formed by Mohamed Ghannouchi on January 17, 2011, and then Minister of Foreign Affairs in the second government formed by Mohamed Ghannouchi on January 27, 2011, replacing Kamal Marjane.
