Macron's French Administration has signaled that Haftar Al-Khalifa and the Libyan National Army are part of the solution:

With all the sabre-rattling going on over Ukraine and Syria between Russia and Europe, it is interesting that some European countries are willing to work with Russian goals for stability, such as in Libya. This willingness would likely benefit Europe enormously, as a stable Libya means less economic migrants from North Africa.

This shows that, in many ways, Emmanuel Macron parallels Obama, in being unwilling to play the Establishment handbook at every step of the way. Macron willing to cede power to Russia in Libya is reminiscent of Obama refusing to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad in Syria.

This is terrific news for Libya. The Libyan National Army and Haftar Al-Khalifa are certainly stabilizing forces in the Arab country, and France is finally willing to embrace pragmatism to see Arab countries like Libya reach stability.
