The Italian Nova Agency confirmed today, Wednesday, that there are ongoing talks in Jordan between Haftar’s sons and leaders of armed groups from Tripoli under the auspices of the UAE and Egypt and with the support of the United States.
Regarding Bashagha’s dismissal, Nova indicated that members of Parliament accused him of squandering public money and entrusted his finance minister, Osama Hammad, with his duties, due to his refusal to grant construction contracts for projects to companies affiliated with Haftar.
It added that a cabinet reshuffle is unlikely in the near term, but it is not impossible. Either Haftar and Dbeibeh agree to change the government with the latter in the role of prime minister and with Haftar’s ministers, or they will continue to talk to each other behind the scenes, moving money up and down the counter.
