A dispute over the dismissal of Libya’s central bank head could be the first test of thawing Egypt-Turkey relations, writes the Guardian

The Guardian takes a look at what political jockeying in Libya could mean for revived Egypt-Turkey relations: Egypt and Turkey have long stood on separate sides of the long-running conflict in Libya, with Egyptian displeasure over Turkey’s involvement in the conflict causing some diplomatic ripples in past years. As such, the recent dismissal of the Libyan central bank’s governor Sadiq Al Kabir may be the first test of whether relations between the two countries have warmed to the levels heralded by Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s recent landmark visit to Ankara, the Guardian’s diplomatic editor Patrick Wintour writes, adding that the Turkish government had dispatched its head of intelligence to Tripoli immediately after El Sisi’s visit.
