An official in the German Marshall Fund of the United States of America, Dario Christiani, stated exclusively to our source today, Wednesday, that the former head of the National Oil Corporation, Mustafa Sanalla, had caused strained relations between him and the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, describing that the appointment of Farhat Ben Gdara represents a meeting point between Dbeibeh and Haftar, at least with regard to oil, but this did not turn into a new beginning.
Christiani added that the relationship between Dbeibeh and Haftar has become deeper. In addition to the important roles that Ben Gdara played in the days of the Gaddafi regime, his appointment reinforces the perception that there is a return to the figures of the previous regime. Looking at this appointment from a broader perspective, the UAE plays a crucial role in shaping the Libyan dynamic given the relationship between Ben Gdara and Abu Dhabi.
Christiani indicated that the current head of the National Oil Corporation, Farhat Ben Gdara, is certainly very close to the UAE.
