That's sidikli (pissy).
Funny that our guys leaks this first to the press.
Lmao like they did with bayraktar tb2 parts claiming they shot down gazillions of drones.
Regarding these partition plans, which I dont think they will succeed- what are the Spaniards opinion on this. Wouldnt such a move embolden the catalans when they see that another nation right in the neighborhood could get partitioned?
Something to observe in the coming months.

Greece wants to open an embassy in Benghazi and replace Turkish imports in Eastern Libya
The majority of the population is under GNA control and once the oil fields are retaken there isnt much bengazi could do.
Thats why Sirte and the oil crescent is crucial to be retaken.

From the article: “Salem expects that the Egyptian navy’s ranking would improve during the next year due to its increased armament and major arms deals.”

Mete says that LNA having lost the hybrid war and was on full retreat and that there is a big risk for conventional war. Which would explain why Turkey is going establish military, naval and airforce bases in Libya.
The time atm is being spent on establishing these bases for a longer military operation.

That is going to piss them of so much.
What do you say @Vergennes . Do you think the findings will have a consequences for the commander of the ship in question, or do you think the politicians exaggerated what occurred and will be um... censured. I don't believe France will give an apology.
UN Secretary-General tells warlord Haftar there's no military solution in Libya
BY DAILY SABAH WITH AA
ISTANBUL POLITICS
JUL 02, 2020 9:24 AM GMT+3

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the putschist Gen. Halifa Haftar Wednesday that there can be no military solution to the conflict he launched in April 2019 against the U.N.-supported government in the capital, Tripoli.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Haftar called the secretary-general and they discussed current developments in the oil-rich country, which saw his militias retreat from Tripoli last month.
Guterres also spoke to Libya’s U.N.-backed prime minister, Fayez Serraj, who indicated his commitment to a dialogue within the Libyan Joint Military Commission “and expressed his interest in a political solution based on elections," Dujarric said.
The secretary-general told Haftar that “the solution can only be political, and Libyan-owned and Libyan-led,” and he reaffirmed the U.N. commitment to talks between the two sides in the Libyan Joint Military Commission, Dujarric said.
The U.N. chief also reiterated his shock at the recent discovery of mass graves in territory recently recaptured from forces commanded by Haftar “and stressed the need for full respect of international human rights law and international humanitarian law,” the spokesman said.
In his call with Serraj, Guterres also expressed shock at the recent discovery of mass graves “and stated that the United Nations was ready to assist in efforts to ensure accountability, Dujarric said.
The U.N. said June 12 that at least eight mass graves had been discovered, mostly in Tarhuna, a key western town that served as the main stronghold for warlord Haftar’s forces in their 14-month campaign to capture Tripoli. The discoveries raised fears about the extent of human rights violations in territories controlled by his militias, given the difficulties of documentation in an active war zone.
Haftar’s failed campaign to capture the capital has led to a humanitarian crisis, with 1 million people in need of aid and almost a half million people internally displaced.
The Prime Minister indicated his commitment to a dialogue within the 5+5 Libyan Joint Military Commission and expressed his interest in a political solution based on elections.
Libya has been in turmoil since 2011, when a civil war toppled long-time dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who was later killed. The country has since split between rival administrations in the east and the west, each backed by armed groups and foreign governments.
Ankara supports Libya's U.N.-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) in the conflict against Haftar’s illegitimate forces. Under a military pact with Libya signed last November, Turkey also sent military advisers to assist in the battle against Haftar's forces.
The Libyan government forces with Turkish support gained the upper hand in the war in early June after retaking the capital’s airport, all main entrance and exit points to the city and a string of key towns near Tripoli. They threatened to retake the strategic city of Sirte, which could allow them to gain control of oil fields and facilities in the south that Haftar seized earlier this year as part of his offensive on Tripoli.
Egypt warned that it would intervene militarily if Turkish-backed forces attacked Sirte, leading Italy, Germany and the United States to call for a cease-fire and de-escalation of tensions in Libya last week.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said any attack on Sirte or the inland Jufra air base would amount to crossing a “red line.” He said Egypt could intervene to protect its western border with Libya and bring stability, including establishing conditions for a cease-fire.
The Tripoli-based government said it considered el-Sissi’s comments a “declaration of war,” while authorities in the east welcomed his support.
On Friday, Libya’s National Oil Corporation said Russian and other foreign mercenaries had entered the country’s largest oil field, describing the development as an attempt to thwart the resumption of halted oil production.
Dujarric said that in his conversation with Haftar, Guterres “indicated his commitment to helping find a solution for the reopening of blocked oil terminals and oil fields in the country.”
He said the secretary-general and Serraj “also discussed the need to reopen blocked oil terminals and oil fields in the country."
Earlier this week, Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) confirmed there had been international talks to end the blockade on oil exports, involving the internationally-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), the United Nations, the U.S. and regional countries, expressing optimism that the blockades will be lifted soon.
Guterres also reiterated U.N. support to Libya's government in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic in his call with the prime minister, Dujarric said.
