The disastrous crisis in Libya, which either seems to die down or explode with combat operations, continues to alarm the world community and be a bane for North Africa.
But recently, both the world community and the Libyans themselves have taken a number of measures that, if they are executed precisely, may lead to a more peaceful situation in this turbulent country.
Khalifa Haftar, the commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), stated that his troop units would
allow oil production to resume after an eight-month blockade, and by virtue of that
a committee would be formed to ensure that revenues are fairly distributed. However, Libya's National Oil Corporation, which controls its energy industry, announced that it would not waive force majeure in respect of exports until oilfield facilities are demilitarized. As is common knowledge,
Libya is a country that is extremely rich in oil, and this dispute between warring factions involves controlling that wealth. It can be recalled how for many years Libya and many of its public institutions were split between the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli and Khalifa Haftar's government (LNA) in the east. In Tripoli, Ahmed Maiteeq, who is the Deputy Prime Minister of the GNA, came out with an announcement immediately after Khalifa Haftar had spoken, confirming that
"the decision was made" to resume oil production.
Comment: Biden's offering the Logan Act to snare General Michael Flynn was the hinge piece for the false prosecution of Trump's former national security adviser. Hillary Clinton masterminded a diabolical game-changer still in play. It is astounding how many years it is taking for the justice system to gather and assess these crimes sans actionable reprimand or justice. The same can't be said for the false accusations and dogged persecution of General Flynn.
