Russia, Turkey call for ceasefire in Libya

Russia and Turkey – the two prime European powers – have called for the end of conflict in the North African country of Libya.

Though the two superpowers back rival sides in the conflict, they, it seems, are on the same side on their opinion that the conflict in Libya should end soon.

Turkey recently sent their military force to assist the UN-backed government in the North American country, which is under the threat of a powerful rebel force.

The prime rival of the UN-backed government in Libya is a rebel force led by General Khalifar Haftar.

Turkey accuses Russia of supporting the rebel group led by the general by not asking their mercenaries to stop providing support to the group – an allegation Russia denies strongly.

Recently, Germany warned that the conflict in Libya might turn much worse than what happened in Syria if it was not checked timely.

Libya is very close to the European continent. There is no doubt that the Europe has many things to worry about the developments in the Libyan region.

It seems that Germany is very keen about bringing the situation in the North African region back to normal.

The west has a role in the destabilisation of this region. Undoubtedly, it has the responsibility to bring peace back to this region.
