The new Libya: various aspects

[davidbfpo]

A short article by Peter Oborne, which includes a British 'double game':

Meanwhile, it is important to remember that despite its official pronouncements, even the British government – for all its statements of support – is playing a double game.In recent months, British special forces have reportedly been fighting on the same side as the GNA against IS in Sirte.
Meanwhile, as Middle East Eye revealed, British special forces have also based themselves in a French-led multinational military operations centre in Benghazi supporting renegade Libyan general Khalifa Haftar.
Haftar is on the opposite side to the GNA government in Tripoli.
British forces are on both sides at once as the GNA attempts to assert control over Libya. This reflects a shambolic British policy lacking integrity, strategy or coherence.

He also refers to a new iCG Report on Libya: The Libyan Political Agreement: Time for a Reset and summary he writes:

This beautifully researched document is replete with distressing details about the failure of the Sarraj government, revealing for example that no cabinet meeting has taken place since last June.
