According to Algerian security sources cited by the usually well-informed Algerian daily El Watan, Algiers is taking into consideration the facts on the ground with regard to the state of affairs in Libya and Algiers’ policy towards Tripoli. According to El Watan sources, Algiers is most preoccupied by the security of its eastern borders with Libya. For that reason, it is ready to deal with those who can guarantee that security on the ground. El Watan suggested that the ability of the Libya Dawn brigades to take control of Tripoli, and to evict the pro- Libya Dignity militia despite the Egyptian and Emirati air support, seemed to have convinced Algiers of this decision. Echorouk Elyoumi, an Algerian daily, reported in its Monday edition that AbdelHakim Belhaj’s announced visit to Algiers is believed to be part of the Algerian government’s move to strengthen ties with moderate Islamists who control Tripoli. El Watan read the same in Rached Ghanouchi’s meeting with Bouteflika last week.
