Mohamed al-Menfi

Al-Menfi occupies one of the most precarious jobs in international politics, trying to hold together a Libya fractured between rival governments and armed factions since the fall of Gaddafi. Coming from Tobruk in the east and rising through the diplomatic ranks, he was chosen as a compromise figure precisely because he could appeal across the country's bitter divides. Leading the Presidential Council means constant negotiation, fragile ceasefires, and the looming question of national elections that keep getting postponed. It's a thankless, high-stakes role. Whether Libya finds lasting unity may hinge on whether figures like him can outlast the spoilers.
