My latest for the @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social is a clarion call: #Libya’s economy isn’t unraveling by accident. From shadow oil deals to digital money printing, what looks like drift is direction - & the path leads to collapse unless reforms reverse course.

Something I don't think is understood about the collapse of drinkable ethanol production by 12%. It means the people who due to wage increases could afford legal alcohol in 2023-2024 have now again been priced out. bsky.app/profile/delf...
