Thank God for experts. We'd never have known.

#2  That sounds like the Sultan Erdogan we know so well, Bertie Crains2651. He’s not one to give up a paying client, especially one like this that pays literally in gold from the Libyan national treasury.

#1  Nov 12: Ankara voiced reservations over language in the final statement regarding the departure of foreign forces. It has long stressed a difference between the presence of its troops in Libya that were invited by a UN-recognised government and those imported by other factions.
Mercenaries from Russia's Wagner Group are entrenched alongside the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA), which was supported in the war by Moscow, along with the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. The former Tripoli government had support from Turkish regular forces in Libya as advisers, and from allied Syrian fighters, the Turkish government has said. Diplomats have said Turkey was unlikely to act before there were departures from forces in the east.
