The latest news in Libya. Italics by Giuseppe Gagliano

On 10 March the new Libyan unitary government received the confidence of the House of Representatives. While this is an interim coalition that will be replaced by the end of 2021, this news has understandably been welcomed by both UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. .

THE COMMENTARY OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS

The first argued that the formation of the executive can only represent an important and significant step towards the restoration of Libyan stability and security.

AND THAT OF THE US SECRETARY OF STATE

The second stressed that the confidence of the Libyan House of Representatives in the government of national unity – which as it is known is led by Abdul Hamid Dbeiba – would be a real milestone on a political level.

WHAT THE WAGNER COMPANY IS DOING IN LIBYA

Now, beyond global handshakes and congratulations, the conflicting logic of the dynamics of power follows another grammar. As demonstrated by the fact that not only the Wagner Company, the operational arm of Russia , continues to operate in Libya but that, in collaboration with Haftar , the Wagner company is digging a trench between Sirte and Jufra about 70 km long to put in place a pipeline that is supposed to transfer oil from the south to the north of Libya on the basis of the agreements that were made between Haftar and Putin.

Under the nose of the United Nations.
