Balkanisation of Libya, and international impact?

The following news is not really surprising since its been clear for a long time that Haftar was unlikely to succeed in taking Tripoli, and any stalemate balance shifted there once Turkey leant its support to the GNA more overtly.


A military source with Gen Haftar's forces, whose base is in the eastern city of Benghazi, said they were pulling back from all of Tripoli's suburbs, reports the Reuters news agency.

The GNA advance follows reports last month that mercenaries from the Russian Wagner Group, who had been fighting with Gen Haftar, were evacuating from Libya, although this was never confirmed.
