The Libyan Civil War

For eastern Libya's field marshal, control over energy is an ace up the sleeve to put pressure on his Tripoli-based foes.

While the truce could put the Libyan National Army's push to seize the capital on hold, it raises the risk that oil exports will be used as a negotiating tool.

Ankara's offer of special operations forces and more to Libya's ailing Government of National Accord is unlikely to roll back Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter anytime soon.

Turkey's strategy of advancing its economic and foreign policy interests via greater involvement in Libya carries a significant risk of mission creep.

A request by the internationally recognized government in Libya for more military and security assistance from Turkey will make a complex conflict even more so.

A fuel supply dispute between the National Oil Corporation and the Libyan National Army besieging Tripoli could balloon into a supply disruption that would roil global markets.

A new blacklist of companies barred by the U.N.-recognized government from operating in Libya notably includes French oil giant Total, complicating an already-challenging business environment for foreigners.

The Libyan National Army's recent ambush on the country's capital has likely shattered the possibility of peace talks any time soon.

A cease-fire between rival Libyan governments has allowed the country's oil sector to recover over the past few years, but new fighting may put oil exports at risk once again.

The Libyan National Army's assault on the capital appears to have bogged down. What to watch for as the battle continues to rage.
