On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron met with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj, supported by the United Nations.
This comes at a time when the Sarraj administration is unhappy with what is perceived as Paris’ support for eastern Commander Khalifa Haftar.

So, what is the significance of that meeting with President Macron?
