Berlin Conference on Libya, January 19th, 2020 - Recommendations
My recent visit to Eastern Libya, October 20th - November 25th, 2019
I recently returned from an extended visit to Eastern Libya at the invitation of Libyan Interim Government. I learned much about the House of Representatives (HoR) through its President Counsel Aguila Saleh, met and held long discussions with Prime Minister Abdullah Al-Thani, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdulhadi Lahweej, and some members of the Libyan National Army.
48 hours after a White House delegation met with General Khalifa Haftar, Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) in Amman, Jordan on November 24th, I had the benefit of a meeting with U.S officials in Tunis. They expressed concerns over the presence of Russian solders in LNA ranks and increased civilian casualties. In April, General Haftar launched a military campaign to capture Tripoli from the Government of National Accords (GNA). Learning from four years of experience fighting a war against hundreds of Islamic terrorists in eastern Libya, in Derna and Benghazi, Haftar is more cautious about committing more civilian casualties in his pursuit of Tripoli. Much of historical Benghazi was leveled to the ground from airstrikes in pursuit of Islamic extremists in 2014. (See video clips below)

Current Libya crisis
"It has become abundantly clear, three years after the fall of the Qaddafi regime; the Libyan people have not been able to establish viable democratic institutions, and a functioning state. The crisis at present has reached alarming levels and threatens the peace and security, not only of Libya but also of North Africa, the Sahel countries and the Mediterranean. The prospects of an intractable crisis are looming, and Libya is on the brink of becoming a failed state at the center of a critical region of the World." June 25, 2014 ......
