Tunisie Telegraph: Russian influence in Libya assessed
Libya is a pivotal location in Russia's strategy in North Africa, as Moscow relies on indirect military presence and close ties with Khalifa Haftar's forces to strengthen its geopolitical and economic influence. Since 2016, Russia has supported Haftar's forces through technical and military aid, establishing an airbase and air defense systems that include fighters, helicopters, and advanced defense systems, as well as training Libyan pilots and technicians in Russia. The Russian presence aims to transform Libya into a launchpad toward the African coast and secure supply lines for its operations in the region, while also benefiting from its oil reserves and reducing Western influence. The country remains divided politically and security-wise, with fierce competition among international powers for dominance, amid deteriorating economic and social conditions that hinder stability and development.
