Significance
Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeiba emerged victorious from fierce fighting in Tripoli last month, which resulted in major military setbacks for the eastern forces backed by Paris and Cairo. Their hopes now focus on the political track.
Impacts
The fighting between Dbeiba and Bashagha has boosted Haftar’s position in ongoing military unification and political talks.
Dbeiba will try to consolidate power, but will come up against the demands of the militias he paid to protect him.
The Franco-Egyptian alliance will aim to move quickly to elections to remove Dbeiba from power.
