Above the law? Ankara and Tripoli to ignore Libyan court ruling on energy MoU

This week a Libyan court ruled to suspend an energy exploration deal that the Tripoli-based government signed last year with Turkey that ignored the rights of Libya’s neighbors and inflamed Libya’s own internal crisis. The energy deal struck down by the court followed up on an illegal MoU between Ankara and Tripoli that attempted to split the Eastern Mediterranean between themselves at the expense of countries like Greece and Egypt.

Expert Aya Burweila joins Thanos Davelis to discuss this latest development in Libya, break down its broader significance, and look at how major outlets are dropping the ball when it comes to covering Libya.

Aya Burweila is a Libyan expert from Benghazi based in Athens, is the founder and director of the non-profit Code on the Road, and a BBC Woman Expert in Terrorism and Radicalization.
