The U.S. is advancing an initiative led by the U.S. President's Senior Advisor for Africa and Arab
and Middle Eastern Affairs, Massad Boulos, to unify Libya’s divided institutions under a single executive.
Given its longstanding involvement in the Libyan file, the UAE is positioned to influence the initiative’s prospects. Abu Dhabi considers the proposal politically viable but has attached several conditions to its support.
The following note sheds light on:
- MBZ, Tahnoon and ABZ's assessment of the US initiative
- Abu Dhabi’s conditions for support
- Emirati discussions with Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh and Saddam Haftar
- The UAE’s preferred sequence for institutional unification
The summary is available to signed-in readers.
