Erdogan Topples World Dynamics Over Support To Libya

-


Erdogan's power game in Libya is disturbing a world order




Moscow had asked Turkey not to intervene in Libya and send military support 

 The legitimate Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) had asked for military help and that is when Turkey stepped in. According to a public statement that Erdogan has made over sending troops to “ensure there is a ceasefire in Libya. They are not there to fight.” But that is an ironic statement to make, owing to the fact that this legitimate government has not been able to handle the offensive by the self styled General Haftar in the East.


As of now, at least three different groups can claim to have the ability for credible and legitimate governance in Libya. But the fact of the matter is that only the Government of National Accord (GNA) is recognized, and that also outside the country and in the West. In fact, Western nations and the United Nations don’t just recognize the GNA—they created it.

So, Erdogan is going to play up this card  to garner support in Libya, sizing up his dream for ownership over the country as a clear and easy access point to reach the Mediterranean, that makes oil and gas reserves extremely accessible for Turkey.

The Turkish lot is already on its way to Tripoli where they are establishing their operation centre. There is no denying that Erdogan’s support to Sarraj has already rubbed Haftar the wrong way. But now the risks of angering the regional actors supporting Haftar, notably the United Arab Emirates and Egypt has also increased. Meanwhile, Turkey is also needling Moscow to react, who is a part of the support system for Haftar. Vladimir Putin had already warned Erdogan not to send forces into Libya.

Erdogan has the ambition to be a super power, an autocratic monarch who probably wishes to ape Washington or better still Moscow.  Whether he has the ability to handle the offensive is something only time will tell. As of now, he has more enemies worldwide than one can count on both hands.
