Significance
In February, Bathily announced a new initiative to hold parliamentary and presidential elections, which he is pushing to take place this year to end the political stalemate.
Impacts
The UN and its Libya support mission could gradually lose credibility among the Libyan public if another initiative fails.
The Russian paramilitary Wagner Group is likely banking on a failure of international efforts to dislodge it from positions in Libya.
Egypt will use its influence and ties with Libyan groups to contain the cross-border impact of the Sudanese conflict.
