Aref al Nayed has the blessing of the UAE, the US, and the Vatican, and he counts on warlord Khalifa Haftar's advances, hoping he could become Libya's post-war leader
in Libya, Nayed was an ambassador to the UAE and has had multiple meetings with the US administration as well.
Nayed grew up in Tripoli, studied in the United States and Canada, and did business in Italy. He returned to Libya in the 1990s, pursuing business interests in the country and abroad. Haftar was released, thanks to US intervention, and Washington offered him political asylum in Virginia. He spent the next 20 years there, living close to the CIA headquarters.
As the UAE considers Haftar a trusted partner, he also enjoys the support of Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Some reports revealed that he met several times with Israeli intelligence agents. Also some reports revealed that Haftar asked for Israel’sin case he took control of the country and toppled the UN-backed government in Tripoli.
He was tasked with organising the reconciliation process and given a mandate to put all state institutions in order. However, since 2011, the NOC has become more political as all stakeholders in Libya needed to support it in order to survive.
