1/10 A high-level Turkish delegation travelled to #Tripoli yesterday and signed a series of MoUs with the #GNU.
This latest development introduces a new episode to the Libyan crisis that will have repercussions on national, regional, and international levels. 🧵

2/10 The MoUs were kept secret, with only #Turkey & Dabaiba’s inner circle aware of the agreements. Many ministers within the GNU found out last minute without having access to the text itself.
Dabaiba’s foreign allies such as the UAE have also been kept in the dark.
Dabaiba’s foreign allies such as the UAE have also been kept in the dark.
3/10 Dabaiba, like his predecessor Sarraj, signed the agreements out of despair to ensure Turkey’s role as a strategic ally to stay in power.
For him, the deal is essential as he thinks only Turkish can help him contain and manage his alliance of armed groups in Tripoli.

Turkish delegation to #Tripoli headed by the Foreign Minister & including the defense, energy, and trade ministers arrived in the capital today to sign a number of agreements with the GNU. The visit & deals to be signed come at a critical time & will be viewed as an escalation.
1- The Turkish delegation will sign MoUs with the GNU in the energy sector for exploration in the disputed maritime EEZ, as well as, MoUs in trade, media/communication & military training.
A #thread to answer the question in this tweet from September 29 regarding the visit of @hms_albion to #Tripoli & why the event angered Libyans across the country & drew criticism from figures across the political spectrum.
1- From what I saw & read online, the anger was not directed at the visit by @hms_albion to #Tripoli per se. Visits by other navy vessels to #Libya from others states have taken place over the years. But the timing/optics of this visit were off & could have been managed better.
📍Update (1/3): Mayors of nine strategic municipalities, surrounding W & SW of Tripoli-borders, issued a joint statement supporting the Gov of National Unity "Al-Dabaiba", denouncing the use of violence by Bashagah & calling for hastening of the election process. #Tripoli #Libya
(2/3): The nine municipalities are considered to be under military control of Bashagha's allies and known to be the first line of defence for any military invasion of Tripoli.
(3/3): The municipalities are as follows: Al- ʽAziziya, Al Swani, Al Maya, Al Zahra, Al Mamora, Al Amria, Al Nasria, and Al Jaleda.

#China betrachtete die US-Aktion als einen direkten Affront und hat laut Medienberichten zeitweise seine Armee in Gefechtsbereitschaft versetzt.
Chinesische Kriegsschiffe meiden es dennoch, in direkte Nähe der US-Navy zu kommen und eine "echte" Konfrontation zu riskieren.

Here are 4 tweets explaining how the latest battle in #Tripoli could turn into Libya’s next civil war
This moment captures the trauma of another horrible war as children flee gunfire.
This moment captures the trauma of another horrible war as children flee gunfire.
1. A turf war broke out between armed groups affiliated to rival HoR appointed PM Bashagha (77) & UN backed PM Dbeibah (SSF) in downtown Tripoli Friday night, leading to an exchange of fire & loss of territory for Bashagha’s forces today transforming balance of power in #Tripoli
2. This was a pretext for Bashagha & Haftar to try a powergrab behind PM’s office.
The plan failed.
Plan B was to take a suburb of Tripoli & contest Dbeibah’s legitimacy.
Plan B is failing & mobilising armed groups towards capital & turning the battle into the next civil war

"Vorrei una ragazza, ma giovane e in salute" precisò Osama ad Al Montasier, direttore del lager finanziato da progetti italiani. Gli serviva una domestica.
Scelse una delle nigeriane perché costavano meno, appena 600 dollari: la diciottenne Mary.

The most zealous pro-Dabaiba fighters on 5/17 in #Tripoli were led by #Bahrun.
& the #Buzeriba forces (who didn’t fight on 5/17) are ferociously anti-Dabaiba.

As the HoR moves ahead with appointing a new interim authority likely to be led by @fathi_bashagha, the GNU is suffering from major internal divisions/turbulence. Yesterday @Dabaibahamid tried to put on a brave face & rally Libyans to support him by going out on the streets.
People will not come out on the streets to support Dbaiba because he failed on every key file that his Gov was supposed to handle. He thought he could buy his way with the entire population the same way he managed to buy his way through the @UNSMILibya facilitated LPDF. #Libya
Yesterday @Dabaibahamid promised that he won't drag #Libya into another war or preside over a return to division, but at the same time vowed not to hand over power except to an elected authority. The irony is that he & his team worked hard to prevent the 24 Dec elections.

The possibility of a #parallel govt — capable of rallying several presidential candidates & other anti-Dabaiba forces — has been pre-announced by #Aqila for months.
Such an entity may indeed emerge now.
Beyond symbolism & posturing, will it affect the current reality?

Tripoli military region’s commander Abdel Baset Marwan was removed by the GNU’s Presidential Council today sparking major military build up in the capital 8 days before scheduled elections.

Marwan was particularly close to leadership of 3 armed groups in Tripoli: TRB/Nawassi/Ghnewa
In October 2020 a rival Tripoli brigade the 444 brigade stormed Marwan’s house in an attempt to arrest him. This almost sparked a new round of conflict.
