What is significance of latest turn of events in Libya?
chaotic Libya a proxy war - between two key power axes in Middle East
outcome is of interest to Western powers – and to Israel
necessary to observe who is supporting whom in Libya
Haftar supported by Egypt, UAE
Egypt, UAE funding, arms, equipment crucial to Haftar
Haftar also supported by Saudi Arabia
Haftar is ally of Western-aligned, Arab states
common enemy is anti-Western Muslim Brotherhood
other side, Turkey, Qatar, (Sudan) strong support Muslim Brotherhood
Evidence of illicit arms shipments by Turkey to Tripoli
Dec 18, 2018, 3,000 Turkish handguns seized at Khoms
4 million bullets on Turkish freighter docking in Libya
Another consignment of Turkish weapons discovered at Misrata on Jan 7.
Qatar supports Islamist militias
Qatar supports Ali Salabi, influential Muslim Brotherhood member
and Abdel Hakim Belhaj, of Libya's al-Watan Party
former Libyan Islamic Fighting Group
forces against Haftar representative of Sunni Islamist axis
Turkey, Qatar support for Sunni Islamist organizations
This pattern also in Syria, Palestinian territories and Iraq
Haftar also enjoying support of Russia and US
Moscow notes Haftar's fight against Sunni Islamists
Trump April 15 spoke with Haftar by phone
"recognized Haftar fighting terrorism and securing Libya's oil
US and Russia prevented ceasefire at UN Security Council
Haftar's army not regular military force
incorporates number of militias of questionable ability
vast desert south of Libya remains lawless
arena for activities of ISIS
al-Sisi, UAE, Saudi hoping Haftar establish control
for broadly Western-aligned regime
US, France back this outcome too
Libya will share fate of Syria, Yemen, Iraq
fragmentation, chaos, ongoing proxy war
Libya indicates Arab world stuck in contest between generals vs Islamists
often results in victory for neither
and destruction of the country
My comments :
Libya sudah hancur dan akan terus hancur.
Jadi kekawan, kita nak sokong siapa pula?
This is a proxy war between the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan Muslimin), Turkey, Qatar on one side and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, US, Russia, France on the other side.
Syaitan lawan Iblees. Satan versus Iblees.
I believe if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over Malaysia then the US, the West etc will declare Malaysia an "enemy state" and then they will destroy Malaysia.
The question is will they allow the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Malaysia?
