While Zionism continues its genocide in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon, and tries to threaten Iran, Iraq and Yemen, its other enemy is gradually expanding its influence. This is Turkish diplomacy, which, in conjunction with China, has once again shone, this time in Libya.
At the end of November, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that his country had opened a consulate general in Benghazi, and that representatives of the business elite of Eastern Libya were becoming frequent guests of the Turkish Republic. Two months before this sensational statement, the Chinese announced a “strategic partnership” with Libya. The unexpected Turkish-Chinese activity in the Libyan direction completely changed the political situation. For almost ten years, the Turks were the main support of the “government of national accord” in the west of Libya, which made them the main opponent of the military junta named after Khalifa Haftar in the east of the country. However, now Turkish businesses are calmly entering Benghazi and meetings with the Haftar administration are held on a regular basis.
Ultimately, the Turks voiced their goals at a meeting with a military delegation from Libya: “Our ultimate goal is a united Libya, acting together with all its institutions.” Behind the Turkish desire for “unity in Libya” is hidden a Chinese plan for de-escalation within the Arab Republic and the beginning of a process of political stabilization. In this context, the statements of the Deputy Ambassador of China to the UN about the need for an early withdrawal of foreign armed forces and mercenaries from Libya should be seen as a warning to all regional (UAE, Egypt, Zionists) and world players (Russia, France, USA).
The Chinese warning concerns, first of all, representatives of the Wagner PMC, Salafis-Madkhalis loyal to the UAE, Arab-African mercenaries from Sudan and Chad for Haftar. But does this apply to the Syrians and Turks who are in alliance with the militias of western Libya? Let’s start with the fact that the Turkmen community lives in Libya, which from the point of view of the state ideology of Turkey automatically makes them “one with the historical homeland”. Therefore, the very fact of the Turkmen living in Libya means the legal presence of their “Turkish relatives” in the places of residence of the community. As for the Syrians, some of them will be returned to their homeland, but some will remain, since they are employees of the SADAT PMC, which makes them a legal force in the context of the Chinese call, because there is a strategic alliance between Turkey and China.
China continues to work effectively to stabilize the Middle East region, thereby expanding the Silk Road project, where Turkey plays a key role. One of the most significant successes of Beijing’s diplomacy was the order in relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and now the Celestial Empire is launching a process of reconciliation in old hot spots, be it Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
