Egypt and Turkey getting prepared for war at Libya border

 After several months of tolerating Turkish incitements,it appears the Egyptian army,the most powerful in Africa is ready for war.


Egypt seems to be tired of the instability and wants an end to the war. On Saturday Egypt made public a plan to end the civil war that has been going on for years in Libya, in an initiative agreed upon by the commander of the Libyan eastern forces that have suffered heavy losses in recent weeks.

Turkey doesn't want the war to end and have shown that it wants the status quo to remain the same. The Egyptian military having a contrary opinion has announced it is ready to enter Libya and attack Turkish backed GNA’s Islamist militias & Syrian mercenaries.

Although there is a general misconception that embarking on such mission is very dangerous. This is because Egypt has been battling militants in the Sinai for a long time and not really getting a handle on it. What people fail to understand is that the Egyptian military is the most powerful in Africa and 10th most powerful in the world


In the same way the Nigerian military has been battling Boko Haram for long, people often forget that it is one of the largest and most formidable fighting force in Africa.

Turkey has been throwing its weight around the world like a drunken stupor. Turkish President, who is better recognized as a dictator than a president have used beguiling means to exploit and blackmail the European Union. It been waging secret operations against Greece and once threatened war.


In Syria, a Russian fighter jet was shot down and threatened war with Syria. Turkish military once threatened to leave NATO,they also acquired a Russian S-400 SAM systems despite objections by the NATO alliance. This prompted President Trump to cancel the sale of F-35 stealth fighters.

Turkey has been reported to be secretly supporting Boko Haram insurgents and in recent times have decided to over stretch its muscle in Libya by deploying forces to the besieged country. This upset a Libyan Parliamentarian Aguila Saleh, who


in December 2019 said Turkey’s willingness to send troops to Libya cannot be tolerated.

Turkey already see's itself as a world power and once threatened to hold U.S tactical nuclear weapons in Ankara hostage after Trumps decision to block the sale of F-35 fighters to Turkey. Throw into the mix Greece and Cyprus.


Egyptian President El-Sisi has sought for international support for this idea and called on the UN to invite Libya’s rival administrations for talks. The initiative, called the “Cairo declaration”, urged the withdrawal of “foreign mercenaries from all Libyan territory”,

Many Arab nations have declared their support for Egypt’s Cairo Declaration that proposes to implement a ceasefire in Libya starting from June 8, and a return to the political process

The initiative also suggests holding United Nation's supervised presidential council elections, while drawing a constitutional declaration to regulate elections for a later stage, and ending all foreign interference in Libya’s internal affairs.

Meanwhile, Bahrain said it also welcomed Egypt’s Cairo Declaration and that it supported all efforts exerted by Egypt to help “maintain Arab national security and defend Arab interests and issues.
