As the chaotic situation in Libya is seen as a serious threat to the internal security of neighbouring countries, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt are highly interested in finding a political solution which would help to establish a stable administration in Libya. Only some days ago the Egyptian daily Egypt Today wrote:

“Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the former Libyan president, enjoys the support of major tribes in Libya, so he can run for the upcoming presidential election due in 2018,” said Libyan Tribal Chief and spokesperson of the Gaddafi family, Basem al-Hashimi al-Soul to Egypt Today.

“Saif al-Islam will run for the upcoming presidential election which may take place in mid-2018,” Soul revealed to Egypt Today in December.

Further to Soul’s comments, Libyan Government of National Accord’s (GNA) Foreign Minister Mohamed Siala stated at the Valdai Club panel discussion in Russia on Wednesday: “We believe that the presidential election will be held in the middle of 2018.”

Soul told Egypt Today that Saif al-Islam has already prepared his platform, which he intends to declare soon. “The platform includes some procedures that Saif al-Islam hopes the United Nations would adopt to help Libya move from the incumbent transitional period to stability.”

“Saif al-Islam plans to impose more security and stability, in accordance with the Libyan geography and in coordination with all Libyan factions,” Soul stated.

The foreign ministers of Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria convened in Tunisia on Saturday to resume discussions over the security and political developments of Libya. Libya has become the largest security threat facing the Egyptian state, along with Tunisia and Algeria. The frequent failures of international reconciliation attempts and the fall of weapons into the hands of different militant groups have forced Egypt to play a major role in seeking to solve the Libyan crisis.

Previously, President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi met with Libya’s Chairman of the Presidential Council, Fayez al-Sarraj, to discuss the political accords necessary to preserve Libya’s unity and integrity.

Now, Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi is willing to make a statement in the frame of allegations that former French president Nicolas Sarkozy received money from his father, the toppled Libyan president Muamar al-Gaddafi, and which Sarkozy transferred to his party in order to finance his own election campaign in 2007.

Wednesday evening [i.e. March 21] Nicolas Sarkozy was interrogated in the frame of suspected financing of his 2007 election campaign by Libya. The former French president denies the accusations he is being reproached with.

L'ancien chef de l'Etat, qui avait été placé en garde à vue mardi matin à Nanterre, a été mis en examen pour "corruption passive", "financement illégal de campagne électorale" et "recel de fonds publics libyens" et placé sous contrôle judiciaire, a précisé une source judiciaire.

The former head of state had been put into custody and under legal control on Monday morning [i.e. March 19] and interrogated for "passive corruption", "illegal financing of an election campaign" and for "receiving public funds belonging to Libya under a false pretext".
