There is no clear end in sight to Libya’s deadlockHafed Al-GhwellAbdoulaye Bathily. (AFP/File)Short Url https://arab.news/bkda7Just two weeks ago, the UN’s 10th special envoy in the past 11 years, Abdoulaye Bathily, acknowledged in a briefing to the Security Council an already well-known fact: There is no clear end in sight to Libya’s deadlock. Instead, there is a preference for some kind of power-sharing deal that would then be anointed by sham elections. It dovetails rather curiously with the fact that no external actors are genuinely pushing for, or actively working toward, organizing Libyan elections. These declarations are neither alarming nor novel: Even Libya’s fault lines are now somewhat different from the usual east-west parallelism.
