Permanent representatives of the members of the Arab League met in Cairo on Tuesday in an extraordinary meeting to address the Libyan crisis. Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Egypt and permanent representative at the organization Osama bin Ahmed Nuqali took part in the meeting that tackled the latest developments in Libya and the possibility of an escalation there. The representatives urged a united Arab stance that would help restore Libya’s stability. They called for political solutions away from foreign meddling. Last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his governments decision to seek parliamentary consent to send troops to Libya, at the request of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord. The troops would help to defend the GNA against the Libyan National Army. Last month, Turkey signed two separate accords with the GNA, one on security and military cooperation and another on maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean. Ankara has also sent military supplies to the Fayez al-Sarraj’s GNA despite a United Nations embargo, according to a UN report seen by Reuters last month. LNA commander Khalifa Haftar was in Egypt on Monday for talks with President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. He urged Arab countries to rally behind Libya against Turkey’s ambitions in the country. Also on Monday, United Nations special envoy to Libya Ghassan Salame warned that the maritime agreement between Erdogan and Sarraj would expose Libya to foreign intervention. The agreement between them also threatens to escalate the conflict in Libya.
