Regional Diplomacy Raises Prospects for Libya Political Settlement
Al-Jouini, a researcher in international relations, explained that the revitalized trilateral consultation mechanism involving Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia signals more than routine diplomacy. He noted that it reflects a narrowing of regional disagreements that had long hindered efforts to stabilize Libya.
The mechanism, which resumed activity in 2025 after years of dormancy, held a meeting in Tunis in late January, where foreign ministers reiterated that Libya’s political solution must be internally driven and insulated from wider regional rivalries.
Al-Jouini highlighted a particularly important shift in the relationship between Cairo and Algiers. “In previous years, we saw clearly drawn red lines,” he said, referencing Egypt’s warnings over Sirte and Jufra in 2020 and Algeria’s firm stance on Tripoli the following year. “Today, those red lines no longer define the space of movement. That alone reduces the risk of escalation.”
Libya continues to be split between two rival administrations: the internationally recognized Government of National Unity in Tripoli House of Representatives, headed by Osama Hammad in Benghazi.
