Unifying Institutions in Preparation for Elections
The report indicated that Egypt and the United States realize the importance of unifying Libyan institutions in preparation for holding legislative and presidential elections, considering it a fundamental step to meet the aspirations of the Libyan people for stability and development. The report quoted observers stressing the importance of the historical and strategic relations that link Cairo to Libya, and the ability these ties grant Egypt to influence the course of Libyan events.
Haftar Remains a Pivotal Figure in the Libyan Scene
The report showed that Cairo, by virtue of its regional relations and its communication with various Libyan parties, is capable of directing efforts towards a realistic settlement that ends division and chaos, given that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, remains one of the most prominent pivotal figures in the Libyan political and military scene.
