UAE withdrew the terrorists it supported from Yemen last month, and sent them to Libya to join Khalifa Haftar. Some local sources believe that Turkey has responded to this act by dispatching the terrorists it supported, aka Daesh and Al-Nusra Front from Syria to Yemen to help sustain the Libyan official government.
To announce this news, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that lawmakers will vote in early January on a measure seeking authorization to send troops to Libya in support of the official Libyan government .
Erdogan said parliament would take up the measure on January 8 or 9 after returning from a recess. His party holds a majority, so approval is likely despite the main opposition party voicing its objections to military involvement in Libya.
Erdogan said the move follows a request for help by Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj. Last month, Ankara signed two separate accords with the GNA, led by Fayez al-Serraj, one on security and military cooperation and another on maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean.
At the time of the agreement Erdogan said in an interview that UAE has sent some fighters to help Haftar, the rebel leader, slam the capital city of Libya.
As if in order to confirm Erdogan’s interview, Haftar also had an interview where he said he will soon attack the capital city and end the war.
There is no question as to why. Libya has the best oil quality in the world, and for the same reason this country has seen the harshest possible attacks from many countries in cases when the central government has been unable to hit back.
The most recent one was when Gaddafi was overthrown and Persian Gulf states made a consortium attended by France, England, Germany and US to determine the share they each would have to pay for securing their benefits from plundering Libyan oil.
After Qatar separated from the Saudi axis, the consortium players were divided on one side to US, KSA, UAE, Egypt and Jordan, and on the other to Qatar and Turkey backed by Italy and Russian.
Erdoğan has said Turkey may deploy troops in support of the official Libyan government, which has been fighting off a months-long offensive by Khalifa Haftar’s forces to the east of the country.
On Tuesday, the presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Turkey may need to draft a bill to send troops into Libya, adding that parliament was working on it. Ankara’s possible deployment into Libya has also alarmed Russia, which said it was very concerned by such a prospect
