Libyan political analyst Hussam Al-Fnish said that recent American moves are not ordinary diplomatic protocol, but rather part of a comprehensive path to reshape American influence in Libya. This reflects Washington’s interest in balancing power in North Africa and ensuring the stable flow of financial and oil resources.
In exclusive statements to “Al-Ain News,” Al-Fnish explained that the security file constitutes a central focus of these moves, with the United States seeking to prevent Tripoli from turning into an arena of foreign influence, readjusting the balance between armed groups, and establishing effective communication channels with security agencies.
He stated that the economic dimension is clearly evident through the oil files and the frozen Libyan assets in the United States, valued at around seventy billion dollars, which constitute a direct strategic element for the American side.
He pointed out that these moves bring Libya back into the sphere of international and American strategic interest after years of marginalization.
He noted that they rearrange the balance of power within Tripoli, linking the East and West through American-sponsored economic and commercial settlements. They also weave a network of formal and informal influence that combines diplomacy, commercial interests, and alliances, granting Washington a greater ability to manage the situation with speed and flexibility.
