IMPORTANT: This email shows that #France never stopped trying to get what it sees as its share of #Libya since 2011

This email from 2012 says that both #France & #UK intelligence officers built relationships with East #Libya tribes to grab oil. Clearly France went way beyond and got involved militarily. UK gave up/took back seat.

Even Hilary Clinton found this ‘incredulous’. The US has now found out that it was true, and probably want their share
As we know there was an attempt to form an autonomous state in Cyrenaica/East Libya with closing off of oil ports in 2013. They even tried to sell oil. But the US intervened. Could it be that France was behind this? https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/18/world/middleeast/libya-oil-tanker.html
And now that Haftar (or the same ‘tribes’ mentioned in Clinton’s email) has closed off oil ports it’s probably France behind these move, which is why France refused to condemn this and stopped a joint statement by US, UK, Italy & EU

Note that Sarkozy is still very involved in France’s foreign affairs, and is close to Macron. Macron has asked Sarkozy to represent France FIVE times, most recently after Sultan Qaboos’ death in Oman
