Libya: Libya's Arsenals Are a Blind Spot in the Tripoli Agreement

The Tripoli Agreement, aimed at the reunification of Libya, faces a significant challenge regarding the management of the country's vast weapons arsenals. A primary concern involves the process of disbanding militias, which is considered essential for national stability but carries the risk of leaving large stockpiles of weaponry unsecured.

Experts warn that if these arms are not properly accounted for or managed during the disarmament process, they could be trafficked into neighboring countries. This potential for illicit arms proliferation poses a threat to regional security, highlighting a critical blind spot in the current framework for Libya's political transition.
