Sarraj visit to Sochi exposes rival Russian factions on Libya policy
The visit of Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj to Sochi opens some engagement opportunities between Moscow and Tripoli but also exposes challenges.
Following the visit to Russia by Fayez al-Sarraj, the leader of the Government of National Accord in Libya, Moscow and Tripoli plan to sign a contract on shipping 1 million tons of shipping of Russian wheat. Sarraj came to Sochi for the Russia-Africa Summit.
The head of the Russian contact group for Libyan conflict resolution, Lev Dengov, later told the Kommersant newspaper that the one-year agreement may be signed in a month. Supposedly it would be implemented by the end of this year.
