Turkey to send in troops to protect UN-backed Govt. in Libya

The European country of Turkey is set to send in its military force to Libya to protect the UN-backed government in the war-affected country.

The Libyan government is fighting a rebel force led by General Khalifa Haftar. The government is backed by Turkey and Qatar, while the rebel force is backed by the UAE and Egypt.

The Turkey’s decision to send in its force may irritate the countries who support the rebel force led a war against the Libyan government.

At present, the Libyan government is very weak. In the recent past, the rebel force has made some significant gains.

Last week, in an attack carried out by the rebel force against a military academy controlled by the Libyan government, at least thirty people were killed.

The Turkey’s decision to send in its force to Libya has come after the resolution regarding the same was passed by the Turkish parliament.

With the development, what is clear is that what is waiting for the Middle East is a period of great disruption.

Only the future can tell how many countries will survive the period.

The proposed disruption in the Middle East has a serious implication elsewhere in the world, as many countries including India relies heavily on this region to meet their energy requirements.
