    The point here isn't for you to pick a side. It is to realise that certain narratives around terrorism, legitimacy, and ideology are complete nonsense. This is a civil war with direct foreign intervention that is likely to last beyond any conclusion in Tripoli.

    The presidency issued today a press release in which it affirmed that refuses to be a part of any coalition or lineup in the region, and that every inch of the national soil will only be under the Tunisian sovereignty alone.

    Yes, Al-Abani (head of 's Religious Endowment Authority) has communicated with Rabee Al-Madkhalee to confirm whether he issued a fatwa that urged his Saladi Madkhalist followers to join the ranks of 's to attack Tripoli. Rabee responded he "didn't remember".

    There’s news that the head of the pro-GNA clerical institution visiting and asking directly the Saudi cleric al-Madkhalee to make sure if al-Madkhalee really has asked people to fight in Haftar’s side in the civil war in Libya.

    The "face" put on for months, feigning indifference to keep a semblance of normalcy. But heavy congestion betrays waves of displacement since April, & sounds of artillery in the distance are a constant reminder of the blights of war. Frontlines tell a different story.

    FWIW, Germany recognized the conflict could no longer be exclusively resolved by Libyans a while ago. I'm just saying that more escalation will render Libyan initiatives to halt fighting meaningless - therefore making the "solution" exclusively foreign. Happy Independence Day.

    I think we've never been less "independent". The next bout of escalation in this civil war will, imho, shift the dynamics of the conflict & its resolution. In essence, it will no longer be about stopping Libyans fighting, but about compelling foreign nations to de-escalate.

    Lots of cynicism over 's "Independence Day" (24 December), both online & offline. Warranted, since the country's 3rd bout of civil war in less than a decade, sparked by Haftar's offensive on April 4th, has led to a never-before seen internationalization of the conflict.

    If in the minds of officials, tipping the balances entails rapid territorial gains, that's a flawed assessment contradicted by past conflicts. A "bloodier conflict" (w/ damage to infrastructure, 1000s of IDPs & swaths of areas levelled) is Haftar's "upper hand".
