"Mr President, as rival governing factions from Libya are meeting in Geneva, under the mediation of Bernardino León, the situation back home remains very precarious. Following the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime, ethnic, tribal and regional divisions have been woven now into a patchwork of rival governments and militias. The legitimately-elected government, having been forced from Tripoli by Islamists in the summer of last year, is now based in the north-eastern city of Al Bayda’. Whilst it claims – that is, the legitimate government claims – to be in control of all but eight of Libya’s largest cities and to remain responsible for approximately 80% of the country’s oil exports, military power is actually being exercised by an ex-Gaddafi general, Khalifa Haftar, in the form of the ‘Dignity’ movement.
Whether one looks to the humanitarian crisis presented by the movement of refugees across the Mediterranean, the allegiance between ISIS and some of the jihadist militias – particularly Ansar al Sharia – or the potential for wider destabilisation of the Sahel region, Libya is a country that the EU cannot afford to ignore. Furthermore, Member States must do more to investigate reports of support for jihadist groups from third countries such as Qatar and Turkey."@en1
