Escalation in Libya: From civil war to regional conflict?

Could Libya's civil war become a regional conflict?Turkey with the backing of Algeria deploying military advisors to Tripoli to support the internationally-recognised government of Fayez el-Sarraj. Is Ankara going all in? What with Muammar Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte falling into the hands of eastern-based strongman Khalifa Haftar. Haftar who has got the backing of Egypt, the UAE and Russian mercenaries. We ask about the role of France - accused of backing Haftar - and former colonial power Italy which are part of a diplomatic flurry that has got foreign ministers opposed to Turkey's moves in the Mediterranean meeting Wednesday in Cairo. It has got all the trimmings of a proxy war that is on top of a humanitarian crisis. Can cooler heads prevail or will it spin out of control and draw in players from the region and beyond?
