With the UN-backed government of Libya increasingly reversing the gains made by warlord Khalifa Haftar’s militias, the coastal city of Sirte withto oil reserves, Sirte is also called "oil crescent," as it connects with the ports of Sidra, Ras Lanuf along with Marsa al Brega and Zuwetine where 11 oil pipelines and three gas conduits reach the Mediterranean coast.
Following the UN-backed Libyan government's military advancements against Haftar, several militias loyal to Haftar as well as Russian mercenaries linked to Putin's pet Wagner Group pulled back to Ain central Libya, making Sirte free from violent groups and accessible to the UN-backed Government of National Accord .
When the GNA captured Al Wishka on June 6, Haftar's backers, particularly Russia, wasn't happy about their advance. Moscow is reportedly working on establishing a naval base in Sirte and Al Jufra with an aim to connect them with its bases in Syria's Tartus and Latakia. Regional experts say it will allow Russia to create a power axis across the east of the Mediterranean, which would eventually pose a security threat to NATO.
In Al Jufra airbase, which was captured by Haftar’s militias in 2017, Russian aircrafts are already docked under the supervision of Wagner mercenaries. The latest data provided by the US Africa Commandthat there are still Russian-made fighter jets in addition to Sukhoi-24 bombers stationed there.
Haftar just repeating Sisi's words.
Egyptian doesn't goes to war directly because She has a big challenge to Ethiopia maybe they will do proxiwar but Turkey 🇹🇷 and Ethiopia 🇪🇹 doesn't allow to do that long live both countries the contribution of world peace
nesterhane everyone act like Sisi is a stupid, but he maybe has a plan for Egyptian interests
No brainer. He can not move without his owners' consent. France and Russia wanted him to call it but probably USA tightened his rope and he pulls back.
Sisi is a paying puppet of devil's alliance
cause oil you r welcome .d
