The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Libya is from the UN and internationally recognized government based in the capital Tripoli. His government has the same problem Ethiopia now has with the sugar drunk el-Sisi. Egypt has been funding and arming the junta general based in Benghazi. The general has been laying siege on Tripoli for years now. Egypt’s motive is mainly economic in el-Sis’s grand plan to dip his sticky fingers in Libya’s vast oil wealth and his undying plan to be the leader of the Arab world and Africa he inherited from his predecessors. The democratically elected governance in Tripoli does not sit well with the junta that came to power in Cairo by a coup in 2013. The UN Human Rights Council’s rap sheet on el-Sisi and his gang is long. The is why el-Sisi found a perfect marriage with the Siad Barre wannabes at Villa Mogadishu.
Just imagine the pomposity that has been ravaging the Egyptian leadership since Nasser. You wanna be a field marshal? All you have to do is pick up the best looking army uniform dazzled with glittering embellishment and bingo, you are a field marshal. All what you know about battles is from watching The Bridge at Remagen and The Guns of Navarone. Now you know where he learned how to execute his own men. Then when you have the urge to be the president of the country, all you have to do is toss away your newly acquired field marshal uniform and in an instant you are a civilian and no one would dare to call you a field marshal anymore. If you do, a long knife or if you are lucky, a slammer is waiting for you. That is el-Sisi. Field Marshal! My foot!!!
