On the airwaves of our France 24 colleagues, Algerian president Abdelmadjid Tebboune compared the situation in Libya with that of Syria, with multiple foreign interventions. According to him, the risk is that Libyan tribes also take up arms, raising fears of a "Somalisation" of the country. And he warns: the country could become a "terrorist sanctuary".

Algeria is therefore ready to host a mediation between Libyans, he claims, believing that Angela Merkel's efforts have failed and that many actors in the conflict are in favor of it. "Let us move," said Abdelmadjid Tebboune, "toward the definitive solution, which consists of consulting the population through its tribal organization or otherwise; let us organize elections through transitional institutions if necessary. The current government is one, but it has been superseded. So we need to take this up again but in a much broader manner, for all of Libya. And move toward institutions, a national assembly that will elect a president and two vice-presidents while taking into account regional balances in Libya."

An air base targeted by raids

On Sunday, the Government of National Accord (GNA) based in Tripoli denounced airstrikes carried out on Saturday evening against its al-Watiya base by foreign fighter aircraft.

With Turkish military support, the government of Fayez el-Sarraj has recorded numerous successes in recent months, reclaiming all of northwestern Libya that had previously been in the hands of General Khalifa Haftar, supported among others by Russia.
