The foggy file of Libya ... the return of the repetition and the continuation of the arms embargo

The division between the two blocs hits the Libyan military establishment between two, the “Libyan national army” in the western region under the guidance of the presidential council and the “Libyan Arab army” led by Marshal Khalifa Haftar in the eastern region under the legitimacy of the Libyan parliament in the city of Tobruk.

A political process led by a years-long conflict between the parties to the conflict over Libyan political legitimacy, the parties to the conflict could not reach a political understanding between them.

The Government of National Reconciliation is considered a legitimate government headed by Fayez Al-Sarraj because it is an internationally supported government. However, the parliament in Tobruk is considered it an illegitimate government because of its disagreement with it so far and was not approved yet. As for the “temporary government”, it is still functioning in the Libyan east, but the “interim government” did not give its Ministries to the “National Reconciliation government” due to violations of its promises.

The Security Council's sanctions against Libya in its resolution 1973 imposed on the former Libyan regime are now in place of its extension, a decision involving the United States of America, Britain, France and Arab countries, and Russia strongly opposed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

The Libyan political divisions that Libya is witnessing today threaten international peace and security. The divisions are working to prevent the government of national accord and its armed forces from being the exclusive government in Libya that works to control and stockpile weapons safely and counter terrorism as stipulated in the Libyan political agreement.

What is the mystery that accompanies the Marshal Khalifa Hafer in his recent visit to Moscow on August 14, 2017, the possibility of the Russian side to provide military support to the Libyan armed forces in the eastern Libyan, which the Marshall Khalifa Haftar considers Moscow a good friend and intimate to the Libyan regime of a long time and will remain like that.

Russia will not refuse Libya any request for assistance in times of difficulties, hardship, the hardship that imposed by the United Nations at the Security Council to extend the sanctions on Libya.

Russia wants to be an important party in the process of finding solutions to the thorny issues of Libya, especially in the war of Marshal Khalifa Hafter on terrorism and eradicating it from the endemic roots inside the country.

If the Marshal Khalifa Hafter is determined to continue his war on terrorism in Libya and his control over all Libyan territory under his military leadership, the unjust embargo on arming Libya should be lifted in the era of Marshal Khalifah Hafter.

The return to the Russian arena is inevitable in the purchase of weapons as Libya was once in The era of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, it's an attempt to rebuild Libya's largest arsenal of weapons once again in Libya's.This time is a war on terror rather than Libya's support for the liberal forces of the world as Libya had in the past.

Terrorist issues in Libya give the Russians full awareness of the scale of the sacrifices made by the “Libyan Arab Armed Forces” and today they are in dire need of assistance to secure their internal security from any forces that want to destabilize the Libyan state from fierce battles that lasted more than three years in a row.

The decision to extend the arms embargo is unjust and is a disappointment to all the parties concerned in the East and West, which they are fighting for power in Libya, demanding that the United Nations not to extend and work to lift the arms embargo imposed on Libya so that the forces of both parties can be armed and control extremist organizations and their fight against terrorism in Libya.

In December 2015, the parties signed a political agreement in the Moroccan city of Skhirat. However, the agreement failed to end the division, which later turned into conflict, rivalry and meetings in Arab countries in Tunisia, Egypt, and Abu Dhabi and abroad.

The Marshal and Al-Seraj did not succeed in their meetings to resolve the deadlock. The Libyan political crisis did not take its place. It is a stalled operation to this day due to the Marshal’s demand for bitter and repetitive reasons.

The Article 8 of the political agreement states that the positions of the sovereign and military, General of the Army led by Marshal Khalifa Hafer to the authority of the Presidential Council as soon as the Skhirat agreement was signed, and the reduction of the members of the Presidential Council to two presidents and two deputies.

It is the conflict between East and West on the internal situation when the Security Council's statement confirms the continuation of the extension of the arms embargo to Libya so that the Marshal Khalifa Hafer turns to the countries that are presenting the resolution from the first place “Russia”.

Friendliness, and assistance and the return to the Russian barn in building the Libyan armed arsenal with the frozen Libyan funds. However, the continuation of the sanctions appears to reflect Russia's support for Marshall Hafer and the emergence of the European-American stance towards support for Al-Sarraj in the national reconciliation government, especially after the arrival of the new President, Donald Trump, to the former US administration and its Western allies.

However, the success of the Libyan Arab forces led by Marshal Khalifa Hafer is working to give the countries of the world, including Italy, the explicit recognition of the size of the military force in the Libyan east and its support in its fight against terrorism and recognition of its military role and its determination to space on terrorism in Libya.By Professor Ramzi Mavrakis

انسداد السياسة والخروج عن النظام الدستوري الليبي نلاحظ بشكل متزايد أن الأمن في المنطقة الغربية من ليبيا ظل كما هو عليه متقلب بوجود التشكيلات المسلحة الليبية التي تعمل على إعاقة التطور السياسي والأمني، وهذا لتعدد المليشيات والكتائب المسلحة منها ثوار طرابلس والقيادة الوسطى وكتيبة أبو سليم المتحالفة مع مصرانه واللواء السابع من ترهونة. أوضاع الإنسانية وحقوق الإنسان في تدهور من ناحية الاستقرار السياسي، عندما نتكلم عن الحالة التي تدار في ليبيا ومن ناحية الخيارات والتحليل المتواجدة لدينا من تكشف المشكل  للحالة الليبية في غياب النظام الدستوري الليبي. واليوم نحن نتجادل في الرأي الأصلح أو الأفضل في كلام مسطر وجميل من العودة إلى الدستورية الملكية حتى يكون لنا بداية في الحفاظ على ما أنجز في عهد الإباء والأجداد  وتكون لنا خطوات سياسية مشابها لهم من إعادة التقييم والتعديل في المسار الدستوري. وعندما نرى سيدات ليبيا تطالب إنقاذ ليبيا والعودة إلى النظام الملكي للحكم في ليبيا نقول إن ذالك خيار من خيارات الشعب الليبي حملت شعار " سيدات ليبيا لإنقاذ الوطن " مقترح المقدم للحل في...
  Libya : when the two axes converge ... Political developments and the new political scene at the transitional stage of transition   Libya: when the two axes converge There is no way to depart from the formulas of change in the Libyan political agreement without taking into account the adherence to the fundamentals of the Moroccan Skhirat agreement and make all the amendments necessary because it is a major source of entry to a new Libyan political consensus that works on the consensual approach of all Libyan political parties. The conflicting political parties have the utmost interest in the stability of the Libyan state, with the presence of opponents of blocs West and East of Libya to work on the completion of the roadmap, which was written by Macron in Paris under the auspices of French President Emmanuel. Libya's interest in this new political scene, which provides for the activation and unification of the Libyan national institutions and the holding o...
The parties agree that they do not agree... The conditions of the Libyan capital are serious It seems that the Libyan public was shocked after the confrontation of the Libyan militia and the search for security arrangements in  Tripoli  to freeze the movement of forces and the agreement of the Libyan parties to agree that they do not agree. This is the case of the military conflict, which has doubled every time, as well as the lack of monitoring and stabilization of the cease-fire, which has increased the weakness of the international equation to protect the capabilities of the Libyan state. How did this and the announcement of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya did not succeed in obtaining the agreement between the parties participating in the meeting of the Libyan city of Zawia, to develop a plan for the withdrawal of militias from political sites and vital installations and the replacement of regular forces? But the seventh brigade in Tarhona co...
