Is Iraq at risk of severe conflagration, or even a civil war of some kind, if this state of affairs persists?

Progress on Libya’s Road Map for Elections Hindered by Lack of Consensus, Dire Economic Conditions, Demonstrations, Senior Official Tells Security Council - Libya
Ms. Pobee’s briefing also touched on the country’s dire economic situation, exacerbated by the politicization of the National Oil Corporation, and the country’s troubling human rights situation. The representative of Albania echoed the call for a Libyan-led and -owned process, supported by the United Nations, as the correct path. The two leaders charted a road map, with timelines and steps leading to the holding of national elections. Since 16 April, the shutdown had reduced Libyan oil exports by two thirds and cost the country $4 billion in lost revenue. However, recent months have shown that some Libyan political actors lack real commitment to the process.

Libya’s Oil Output Jumps To 860,000 Bpd
Libyan crude oil production has risen to 860,000 bpd, the country’s National Oil Corporation has said, which is up from 560,000 bpd earlier this month amid continuing disruptions. The latest slump in oil production in one of Africa’s biggest producers came amid the latest flare-up between political factions that involved blockades of export terminals and oil fields, forcing the shutdown of a lot of production capacity. The long-term chairman of the National Oil Corporation, Mustafa Sanalla, was replaced earlier this month with Farhat Bengdra, which prompted a negative response from the eastern-affiliated Libyan National Army led by Haftar. Related: The Middle East Oil Bonanza Will Slow In 2023The National Oil Corporation has said it plans to see oil output rates recover to 1.2 million bpd in less than a month. Before the latest flare-up of violence, Libya was producing more than 1 million bpd of crude oil and had plans to expand this considerably.

Libya standoff could lead to parallel governments: UN
Rosemary Dicarlo asked Security Council members to convey to Libyan parties the UN’s conviction that credible, transparent and inclusive elections are the only solution to the stalemate. “We know from experience what unilateral actions, divided government and an unending transition may hold in store for Libya,” said Dicarlo, who was briefing the council on the latest developments in the country. Mr. Bashagha, meanwhile, insists he is heading the legitimate government.”Russia is the only UN Security Council member to have openly supported Bashagha’s appointment. Council members also voiced concerns over the tense security situation in Libya after pro-Bashagha forces had deployed in recent weeks on the edges of Tripoli, prompting the UN mission in the country to warn against any escalation. Dicarlo warned that as long as the standoff over executive legitimacy continues, Libya could again see two parallel administrations.

Trade bans, inflation send food prices soaring around the world
Food prices accounted for about 60% of last year’s increase in inflation in the Middle East and North Africa, with the exception of oil-producing Gulf countries. Food export restrictions aimed at protecting domestic supplies and capping inflation is one reason for the rising cost of food. Food prices had been steadily climbing worldwide because of drought, supply chain issues, and high energy and fertilizer costs. There's concern that the impact of all these factors will lead more countries to resort to food export bans, which are felt globally. Analysts say food export bans are shortsighted because they have a domino effect of driving up prices.
