Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dabaiba firmly stated that Libya will not be used as a battleground for international conflicts, emphasizing that no foreign power should impose its hegemony.
Dabaiba's communication with the Russian ambassador reflects the Tripoli government's determination to prevent the transfer of Russian weapons into Libya, warning it would exacerbate existing internal conflicts.
Jalel Harchaoui from RUSI characterized Dabaiba's comments as a watershed moment for Libya, indicating that such a position poses significant challenges to Russia's strategic interests in the region.
Dabaiba's stance illustrates Libya's fragile political situation, with ongoing divisions between the UN-backed government in Tripoli and the East's rival administration supported by military leader Khalifa Haftar.
