Cyprus Welcomes Egypt’s New Initiative for Ceasefire in Libya

...while Libya has found support from Turkey, in the end, Peace will be found by the Agreements Libyans will make with all their neighbours; Egypt especially.

And while the Leadership is UN backed, let's remember its credibility was lost when the Legislature removed itself, in opposition; at odds with each other without a common political ground.

...indeed, it is the Muslim Brotherhood, Haftar and his supporters fight against, this Leadership; oh the irony.

While Turkey and Russia may come to blows, with Syrian proxies, in (read: for) Libya, i have to ask myself why; how this issue has gone to an International crisis from a Civil War, with Mr. Erdogan's decision to link it through oil and gas exploration, to his hostility toward Cyprus, and Greece.

...it is not "equity" that Mr. Erdogan is seeking, for the Muslim Brotherhood in effect, but Supremacy for himself.

Indeed, it goes both ways, UN recognition. Libya cannot dismiss such recognition in Cyprus. Nor can it, by extension, ignore, the Principals at least on which UNCLOS was formed, (none of it's neighbours do in any case, but Turkey), without the withdrawal of such support.

...i shutter to think of the "spin" involved if this escalates further, who Americans will be fighting with; the Brotherhood, or the Russians?

...and if America joined with Russia, against the Brotherhood and Turkey, to Free Libya: i have to ask what of the other fights Turkey brews; he may get what he wishes for but not what he wants, with a "new" Turkey, beyond the Treaty of Lausanne.

I remain Hopeful, cooler heads will prevail. Erdogan has a Legacy to build, to "be" infamous or famous; to who?

...interesting times.
