Whether driven by realism or resignation, this shift reflects a distinct desire for stability – a desire that is reinforced, especially in Europe, by the presence of another governance black hole in Libya. The same desire has already driven the West to support Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s regime in Egypt – despite its dubious origins and continuing repression – with only the slightest of pressure for reform.
无论出于现实主义还是心灰意冷，上述转变都反映了一种对稳定的渴望：尤其在欧洲，利比亚的另一个治理黑洞强化了这种愿望。同样的愿望已推动西方支持埃及的塞西政权——西方仅对其施加了轻微的改革压力，尽管该政权来源可疑且持续镇压民众。
