Further clashes are bound to unfold soon in #Tripolitania.

Because:

• some #local rivalries have become too tense.

#macro fault lines have shifted too far away from #Libya’s Jun 2020 equilibrium, which so many policymakers & watchers take for granted;

[ see 🧵 thread👇🏻]
One must, right off the bat, acknowledge the outsized importance of #Zawiyah actors in today’s NW Libya configuration.

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.
Other #local antagonisms that became evident on 5/17 in Tripoli include Mustafa Qaddur’s animosity vs. his #Mukhabarat superior & Dabaiba ally Hussein al-#Ayeb.

Nawassi — which holds a major grudge against Bahrun, too — coordinates w/ Buzeriba & Wershefana’s Muammar al-Dhawi. Image

#Libya 🇱🇾: after weeks of heavy fighting #GNA forces have captured Watiyah airbase.

This is the biggest victory for the GNA ever since the #Tripoli offensive started a year ago, with the capture of the airbase they have cleared the entire western flank of #LNA forces
#Libya 🇱🇾: spoils captured at Watiyah airbase include a Russian-made Pantsir anti-air system.

Crystal clear indication of Russian involvement on the #LNA side Image
The biggest winner of today is arguably Turkey who will now (through it's GNA allies) be able to set up a permanent base in Watiyah, solidifying its presence in the Maghreb region

1/The GNA has managed to break through defences and capture the Al-Watiya airbase...a major victory for them & probably means the LNA will no longer be able to seriously threaten Tripoli
