Matrimonous: Libya was a very good country during Gadaffizz.. You’ll hardly see them leaving their country then.. A lot of things are free in Libya during Gadaffizz.. I knew they’ll regret it tho. Gadaffi, one of the greatest black man to ever exist. His always standing on his ground. He doesn’t care, he goes to official meeting with Libya native dress, it’s either you accept my dressing or I won’t come.. He said Africa should have its own Bank, then we won’t have anything to do with world bank. That made him an enemy and plotted on him! 2 Likes |

What if Gadaffi passed on wudnt Libya move on?? Let’s stop overhyping the Gadaffi situation. Libya is like this because us didn’t handover properly and Libyans are not ready to move on and take control of their country. 1 Like |

Aphrygian: Assad is not alone, the fight quickly changed to Shia Muslims vs Sunni Muslims, Assad regime is being sponsored by Iran(Shia Islam) while Russia supply them the military aid. The Sunni Muslims that are trying to bring Assad's government down are being sponsored by Saudi Arabia(Sunni Islam) while American provide the military aid. Saudi Arabia and Iran are trying to install a government that they can control or will become their ally. You won't expect Shia Muslims to give up their government because some people are being killed. If Assad steps down and another Shia Muslim take over- the fight will continue. That's one problem Islam have. Thank God the Shia Muslims in Nigeria are minority if not, Iran and Saudi Arabia for don turn Northern Nigeria to war zone. Iran always wished IPOB were not pro-Israel. |

It is high time these two overzealous countries attack themselves, of recent it seems both turkey and Egypt have been on coke, they think they are bigger than their actual might. Turkey was fighting the Russian forces in Syria loosing tanks and soldiers now same Turkey is sending troops to Libya, Egypt is still on a stand off with Ethiopia over the Nile Dam which if care is not taken might lead to full military confrontation, same Egypt is sending troops to Libya. Can both countries finance two different military expeditions at the same time? it is high time both countries fight each other, at least one ego would be bruised. 1 Like |

timagentms: Egypt once threatened some east African countries with military force over the plans of those countries to dam the Nile . Ethiopia wants to dam the blue Nile, which took its source from lake Tana in Ethiopia , to generate electricity for over 50 million Ethiopians Egypt is barring Ethiopia from going on with the project citing one useless colonial pact it signed with Britain, in which Britain gave the Egyptians exclusive rights to the Nile. Over 65℅ of the Nile is coming from Ethiopia but Ethiopia has not used a single drop for any industrial use, Egypt has been using the Nile since time immemorial, building the massive Aswan dam on it, why would Egypt be upset with Ethiopia for using its own natural resources? why would Egypt tendered a colonial pact to a country that has never been colonized? Egypt is just a bully, I was very happy when Nigeria did not bow to pressure from Egypt about the WTO nomination. No matter how corrupt or messed up this country is, the population is still a plus in some aspect. 2 Likes 1 Share |

News > World > Africa ‘Too late to stop’: Egypt and Turkey ramp up Libya war preparations Both sides are eager to avoid confrontation, but the escalation continues as Egypt’s parliament votes to approve military intervention Borzou Daragahi International Correspondent @borzou 17 hours ago 71 comments The Independent employs reporters around the world to bring you truly independent journalism. To support us, please consider a contribution. Egypt and Turkey edged closer to the possibility of armed conflict this week over Libya, with both sides preparing for an impending battle over a key city. Egypt’s obsequious parliament voted unanimously behind closed doors late on Monday to authorise president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s proposed military intervention in support of renegade Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar. Mr Sisi on Monday reportedly spoke with US president Donald Trump in a likely attempt to get Washington to convince Ankara to stand down. Meanwhile, Turkey and its Libyan allies of the internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) positioned heavy weaponry and fighters along the battlefront near the city of Sirte, the central Libyan city that is the gateway to the country’s crucial eastern oil infrastructure. Libya was plunged into conflict following the toppling of longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 in a Nato-backed war. Mr Haftar’s Libyan Arab Armed Forces and the GNA and its antecedents have been battling for control of the country for more than six years. The battle over Sirte, the hometown of Gaddafi, is also shaping up as a confrontation between two axis in the Middle East. On the one side are the authoritarian regimes of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, backed by Russia and France, who support Hafar’s Libyan Armed Armed Forces. On the other are populist Islamist-leaning governments in Turkey, Qatar and Libya’s Tripoli. Read more Egypt’s military threats suggest Trump could face a disaster in Libya Mr Haftar was winning the war until Turkey forcefully intervened earlier this year, turning the tide of the conflict with its sophisticated domestically-made surveillance and combat drones, air defence systems, and Nato-calibre battle planning. On Monday, Qatar’s defence minister Khalid bin Mohammad al Attiyah, Turkish defence minister Hulusi Akar and Libyan interior minister Fathi Bashagha conferred in Ankara over the impending conflict. Turkey has been flooding Libya with weapons, flying transport planes to the recently captured al-Watiya airbase to avoid French attempts to intercept its ships at sea. “It’s not like anything I have ever seen in my lifetime,” said Yoruk Isik, an open source intelligence analyst who closely monitors Turkish ship and plane movements. “This is probably the limit that our planes can travel. It’s not executed just well, it’s executed exceptionally well.” ✕ Read more Nato continues to ‘turn a blind eye’ to Turkish arms to Libya Video footage posted on the internet showed convoys of trucks full of GNA fighters from nearby Misrata and other cities heading to Abugrein, which lies about 90 minutes from Sirte. Turkish media reported the deployment of T-122 Sakarya multiple rocket launchers and Korkut anti-aircraft systems outside Sirte. Egypt faces a more formidable logistical challenge. Its eastern border lies a long day’s drive from the city. Its longer range fighter jets would have limited utility without close air support for ground troops. Libya’s eastern-based parliament, which is under Mr Haftar’s sway, welcomed the potential Egyptian intervention. But Mr Sisi has strongly hinted that the threat of Egyptian military intervention was meant to deter a Turkish-backed incursion into Sirte and the southern city of Jufra, another flashpoint in the confrontation. “I don’t think that Egypt will go for war,” said Karim Salem, a Libya expert at the Cairo Centre for Human Rights Studies, a Geneva-based advocacy organisation. “Even if they enter the east, they will not go for confrontation. For now, it’s a way to push from both sides that Sirte and Jufra be empty of military presence.” The threat of military confrontation has prompted international players to refocus efforts on Libya. On Saturday, Germany, France and Italy issued a statement vowing to enforce a longstanding UN arms embargo on Libya that is now openly flouted by all sides. “No one wants to see an escalation in Libya,” Mirette Mabrouk, a scholar at the Middle East Institute in Washington, wrote in a note on Monday. “The threat of spiralling violence, with the capacity to turn into another fully fledged proxy war, might be just the spur to political settlement that was needed.” But forces loyal to the GNA have said repeatedly that they are poised to enter Sirte, with senior officials publicly stating that they are only awaiting the go-ahead from Turkey. Officials in Ankara have been negotiating with Moscow for a withdrawal of suspected Russian mercenaries deployed to both Sirte and Jufra, but the talks appear to have reached a stalemate. Mr Isik called the Sirte operation “inevitable,” driven as much by Turkey’s domestic political calculations as what’s happening on the ground in Libya. The city is the last major urban outpost before Libya’s “oil crescent”, which includes refineries, storage facilities and export terminals in Ras Lanuf, Brega and al-Sidr. “They’re going to take the opportunity in Sirte,” he said. “Maybe they will figure out some bizarre arrangement with the Russians. But they’re going to take [Haftar] out. The process has already started and it’s too late to stop it.” To me Turkey and GNA propaganda will fail in Libya and their military, militia and extremist will be badly beaten if Russia stand her ground by forcefully supporting LNA with weapons and military know how and allowing Egyptian military to enter Libya to confront Turkey who have been deploying thousand of troops as well as militia groups and extremist with equipment in large numbers since January to back GNA in it fight with LNA. Turkey have been poking her nose into Nagorno - Karabakh, Cyprus, Greese,Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine, Syria, Syria idlib, Iraq against the kurds, the Mediterranean sea and now Libya. It may end in total defeat for Turkey and GNA if Turkey push too much. 2 Likes |
