Aguila Saleh, the head of the Libyan Parliament based in Tobruk, was in Cairo on Monday 10 August. In addition to his Egyptian meetings, he met several European ambassadors, as well as Richard Norland, the US ambassador to Libya. Aguila Saleh, who took the political limelight against the Tripoli government following Khalifa Haftar’s failure, asked the American ambassador for guarantees. Sources close to the head of the Libyan Parliament have claimed that he is trying to develop the American proposal in this way. As for the American desire to integrate the militias of western Libya into the army, the head of the Libyan Parliament was intransigent.
