On the impact of military developments in Libya and the announcement by the Al-Wefaq government to regain full control of the capital, Tripoli, the Libyan file is witnessing political moves, as President of the Presidential Council Fayez al-Sarraj visits Turkey, while retired Major General Khalifa Hifter visits Cairo, in addition to visits to delegations to Russia and Europe.
From Ankara, Al-Sarraj sent messages to countries that he described as supportive of the aggression against Tripoli, saying "your bet has been lost and history will have no mercy."
Al-Sarraj added in a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the battle continues until the control of the entire Libyan soil.
For his part, Erdogan stressed that Turkey's support for the Libyan people and the legitimate government will continue, calling on the international community to support the internationally recognized government of reconciliation.
Erdogan said that Turkey supports international initiatives to achieve peace in Libya, pointing to an agreement between the governments of the two countries on the need for a new political stage in Libya under the auspices of the United Nations.
Ankara began providing military support to the Saraj government in November, after signing a military cooperation agreement and an agreement to demarcate the sea border, which would grant Turkey exploration rights in the Mediterranean, which Greece and other countries opposed.
Turkey's support for the Al-Wefaq government over the past months contributed to repelling the Haftar attack on Tripoli - which is behind the UAE, Russia and Egypt - and ended up regaining the Al-Wefaq forces control of all administrative borders in the capital, including Tripoli Airport, after fierce battles that led to the expulsion of the Haftar militia from the south of the city.
Discussions in Moscow, the
capital, Moscow, also witnessed a meeting between a delegation from the Presidential Council of the Government of Conciliation with the Russian side in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense to discuss the latest developments related to the Libyan file.
A source for Al-Jazeera Net stated that the two sides agreed on the necessity of removing all mercenaries of the Russian Wagner Company from Libya within the next two days, and coordinating efforts between the two parties politically, economically and militarily, in addition to looking again at the issue of the Russians arrested in Tripoli.
Security forces in the Al-Wefaq government are holding Maxim Shogley and Samir Suwivan accused of spying, in addition to the internationally recognized government accusing the Russian side of supporting Haftar's land forces by sending mercenaries from the Wagner Company to fight in southern Tripoli and sending war fighters recently to Haftar's forces despite Moscow's denial of these charges.
Russia and
Al-Wefaq Ahmed Maitiq, a member of the Presidency Council, said after the end of the meetings with the Russian side, "We have the conviction today that Russia is an important partner in the stability of Libya."
He stressed in press statements, "We will witness during the coming period a lot of military escalation thanks to Russian diplomacy, and the Russian side assured us that a military solution is not a solution to the Libyan crisis."
On the issue of the Russian detainees in Tripoli, Moutaiq said, "A clear statement will come out from the Public Prosecutor's Office to clarify the circumstances of the case."
An expected change From the point of view of political analyst Ahmed al-Rawyati, there is an expected change in the Russian position "because Russia's interests go beyond putting all of their eggs in one basket."
And it indicates that the manifestations of change started since the withdrawal of Wagner's forces from the Tripoli axes after their inability for eight months to enter the capital in front of the resilience of the forces of the government of reconciliation.
In his narration to Al-Jazeera Net, he believes that this withdrawal of Wagner's mercenaries is behind him internal and international political work arranged for certain exchanges approved by Russia, which knows that Libya is not its field in front of the American and Western European influence.
According to the political analyst, "Russia knows that it can maneuver the Libyan file in the interest of other international files and some economic interests in Libya, and I believe it was achieved in the scenes of managing the crisis through Turkey and with the blessing of the United States."
Al-Rawayati ruled that "Haftar's supporters allow his project to completely collapse after all these investments that have been sacrificed for him, indicating that the regional allies, particularly Egypt and the UAE, will return to its production and recycling in a way that is compatible with the changes."
And he concluded that Haftar's allies would transfer the war to protect the oil fields and ports and the military base of Al-Jafra, for an advanced defensive work in Al-Washaka near Sirte to gain political papers and blackmail for the Al-Wefaq government authorities, to drain its forces militarily and besieg them economically and impose a new reality.
A new approach to rapprochement
In turn, the writer and political analyst Abdullah Al-Kabeer confirmed that there is a trend in the Russian position for rapprochement with the National Accord government after the failure of Haftar's military adventure and the American bias to confront the Russian expansion in Libya.
Al-Kabeer added to Al-Jazeera Net, "The victory of the Al-Wefaq government forces on the ground other than international positions, and what some capitals witness in meetings and consultations is to discuss and coordinate the development of a political solution."
According to the Libyan political writer, Haftar is out of the calculations of any negotiations and a search for an alternative is underway, indicating that any country that will impose Haftar on the dialogue table means its failure in this goal before it begins.
The interior minister of the Libyan government is touring some European capitals, including Paris and Rome, and coincides with French attempts to accelerate the imposition of a truce in Libya.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and his Italian counterpart Luigi de Mayo agreed in Rome that the future of Libya should be determined by the Libyans and not by the interests of foreign powers.
