Italian Strategist: Rome Could Stabilise Libya’s Mellitah Gas Complex

January 10, 2024
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In the wake of ongoing unrest at Libya’s Mellitah gas complex, a critical hub for transporting Libyan gas to Italy, Italian strategic adviser, Daniele Rovinetti has outlined a potential role for Italy in stabilising the situation. The complex, connected to Italy via the Green Stream pipeline, is crucial for both countries’ energy strategies.

In press statements, Rovinetti emphasised Italy’s potential role in quelling the protests, and restoring normalcy at Mellitah. He pointed out Italian energy giant, ENI’s significant presence in the area, suggesting that Italy’s involvement could be crucial for stabilising the situation.

Rovinetti stressed the importance of the complex to Italian energy needs, and highlighted ENI’s strong relationships with local Libyan tribes. He believes these relationships could be instrumental in mediating the ongoing conflict.

Mellitah, as a major gas export point to Italy, holds significant economic and strategic value for both countries. The unrest reflects Libya’s broader struggles with stability post-2011 uprising, and the complex dynamics of local community engagement.

Since the 2011 uprising, Libya has faced persistent instability, impacting key infrastructure like Mellitah. The current unrest reflects wider issues of governance and local community grievances in post-conflict Libya.

Italy’s energy needs are closely tied to Libyan gas, with ENI being a primary international player in Libya’s oil and gas sector. This deep-rooted energy relationship places Italy in a unique position to influence outcomes in Mellitah.

The situation is emblematic of the challenges faced in regions where international corporate interests, local politics, and community rights intersect.

Rovinetti’s insights highlight the complex interplay between international energy needs, and local stability. His proposition not only underscore the interconnected nature of global energy markets, but also hint at new forms of diplomatic engagement that intertwine corporate influence with geopolitical strategy.
