A British military delegation, including Colonel Matthew Kitterer, the UK Embassy’s Defense Attaché, Lizzie Lovett, Counterterrorism Officer, Annie Mitchell Gears, Political-Military Secretary, and Chief Warrant Officer Wayne Wyatt, Assistant Defense Attaché, visited Misrata to discuss security cooperation with key local authorities.

According to a statement from the British Embassy, the delegation met with Major General Ahmed Hashem, Commander of the 53rd Infantry Brigade, to address stability challenges in Misrata and explore opportunities to enhance security partnerships in Libya.

Additionally, they visited the HALO Trust, a demining organization, to learn more about their vital efforts in clearing landmines across Libya.

The delegation also joined the Counterterrorism Force and its commander, Major General Mohamed Al-Zain, for an Iftar meal. This gathering provided a platform to discuss shared security interests and Britain’s long-term commitment to supporting Libya’s stability and security.

Furthermore, the British officials had the opportunity to meet women who served on the frontlines with the Counterterrorism Force, acknowledging their contributions to national security.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
