Al Serraj the day before the visit of the EU delegation (scheduled for January 7), headed by High Representative Borrel, warned: "Don't come to Libya, for security reasons, it's dangerous here".

As Semprini points out in La Stampa, in reality, Fayez al Sarraj does not want any interference, he wants to continue with the agreement signed with Erdogan's Turkey. Too late for Europeans who preferred to wait until the end of the Christmas holidays before rushing to Libya to define the political road. Too bad that in the meantime Erdogan, with strong parliamentary support on 2 January, is already sending his troops to Tripoli to defend Fayez's GNA to Serraj.

The European mission was weak from the beginning because France, over the course of the days, slipped away because, as is well known, it has always been close to the lord of Cyrenaica, General Khalifa Haftar. La Stampa also reports that Paris would have prevented Di Maio from disclosing a joint statement condemning Saturday's attack on the Tripoli academy by dismantling the already fragile European architecture set up in December. Yesterday Luigi Di Maio tried to contact al Serraj, receiving no response. The faithful of the Tripoli government said: "Italy and Europe first went to Haftar by convincing him to retire, before coming here".

The bad luck for the Libyan dossier is that the US - Iran crisis has turned the spotlight on the North African country, leaving Turkey free to start sending its troops with the tacit consent of Putin's Russia.

Haftar called the Libyan people to jihad against the Turkish invader, while the story of the attack on the military college of Hadaba which on Saturday night killed at least 28 people and wounded 18 others is still under discussion. Al Serraj ha blamed Haftar's militias for asking for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, while among conflicting voices and feeble confirmations, many argue that it was an attack by Isis or Al Qaeda terrorists.

General Haftar's spokesman, Ahmed Al Mismari, denied he specified that «the explosion took place from the inside and not from the outside»And that all the elements lead us to think of a terrorist attack against the cadets of the Military Academy in Tripoli as it happened for the one in Benghazi.
