While international attention, especially in the US, has been focused largely on the Syrian Civil War and the aftermath conflict developing between Israel and Iran and their proxies Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, another war has been being waged since 2014 in Libya with one side supported by the United Nations and the other by Russia.
General Khalifa Haftar (also Hefter or Hifter) is the figure towering over all others in the complex confrontation between the Libyan National Army (LNA) and the Government of National Accord (GNA), which included a bloody war and siege of ISIS by Hafter's forces between 2014 and 2016. Hafter is positioning himself to take control of Tripoli by early 2020 and become Libya's next dictator. The LNA has had the backing of Egypt, France and UAE for some time, but increasingly in the last year has Russia become Haftar's key ally.
And this is where the prophesied Libyan-led North African war against Italy and other southern Europe countries, islands, and regions makes sense. In any future war between Russia and NATO, which would certainly be World War III, Khalifa Haftar could have the same value to Putin or his successor in southern Europe that General Erwin Rommel had to Adolf Hitler in North Africa.
