Libya, 2019 Preview
When you think that the destabilization of Libya reached its peak, new development on the ground sinks the country even deeper. The year 2018 was devastating for the Libyan people, and 2019 does not promise any improvement. Listen to a discussion between MEA Risk analysts Arezki Daoud and Alessandro Bruno on what they think Libya is up to.

The year 2018 ended with all the protagonists entrenched in their respective positions. Western strongman Haftar continuous to wage his war on everyone else, as his eastern rival, Serraj, has become the target of criticism by the members of his administration for ruling without consulting. The promise of an election in December 2018 never materialized and as the year 2019 started, war between heavily armed militias reignited in Tripoli, as Haftar fighter jets are preparing to bomb southwestern Libya. With this backdrop, should we expect a miracle to take place this year?
