Marshal Haftar's troops are fighting on the streets of Tripoli

51
The Libyan national army under the command of Marshal Khalifa Haftar joined Tripoli and occupied several areas of the Libyan capital. It is reported that LNA will completely occupy the capital of Haftar’s forces in the next 48 hours.





At the moment, the streets of the city are empty, it seems that almost all residents chose to leave the city. Already, several areas are occupied by LNA fighters, for example, Janzur and Al-Swani, this is in the south-west of Tripoli


- quotes his interlocutor RIA News.

At the same time, the Government of National Accord (PNS), supported by the West and currently controlling the capital, said that the loyal armed forces had again beaten off the strategic checkpoint seized by the troops of Khaftar. This information passes Anadolu agency with reference to a source in the field of security in PNS.

Government forces took the security post number 27 [to the west of the capital], where they managed to capture the 20 LNA troops


- A source from the government guard told the Anadolu news agency.

Soon the same agency confirmed the information with reference to a high-ranking representative in the headquarters of the Libyan National Army.

Meanwhile, Libyan activists shared on the Internet photographs depicting the capture of soldiers of the Libyan National Army by forces loyal to the Tripoli government.

On Thursday, Haftar, associated with an alternative government based in the city of Al-Baida, located in eastern Libya, officially announced the start of operations to seize control of Tripoli in order to “free the capital from terrorists.”

Today, we continue to fight, responding to calls from the residents of Tripoli to release them


- Haftar said in a message posted on his Facebook office page. Khalif Haftar ordered to take Tripoli by storm on Thursday. LNA is planning to take the city in the next 48 hours.

Shortly after the Libyan National Army announced the attack, Sarraj, the head of government in Tripoli, ordered the government security forces "to prepare for and respond to any threats aimed at destabilizing the region."

Libya continues to suffer from unrest continuing since 2011, when a NATO-supported uprising led to the resignation and assassination of President Muammar Gaddafi, who had been in power for about four decades.

Since then, sharp political differences in the country led to the creation of two competing centers of power: one was created in the eastern city of Al-Baida (Hoftar is associated with it), the second, in Tripoli, is the government of the so-called national accord.

On Friday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres flew to eastern Libya to meet with Caliph Haftar. Guterres was in Tripoli this week, trying to organize a national reconciliation conference later this month. The offensive of the Libyan National Army was a surprise to him.

                  He lived in America for a long time, but that doesn’t mean anything.

                  And those who settled in Tripoli just started the war with the support of the West, it was they who banged Gaddafi.

                      Personally, it seems to me that America has beaten him, so he decided to cooperate with us.
                      After all, such attacks simply do not happen, this is a carefully planned operation.

                        Not at all a fact, given that he officially sponsors the UAE and Egypt. The UAE is sitting with US bases, and Egypt has MNNA status with the United States. But Georgians and Ukrainians cannot get this status.

                          Of course, I do not justify it, but if Tripoli falls and the marshal crawls on the throne, then Russia will most likely be one of the first to recognize it. But there is no west))

                  Something about the assault on Tripoli is not at all like the assault on Mosul or the same Aleppo. Quickly somehow. Although Tripoli is comparable in population with 2.5 million people with the same Mosul and Aleppo. In total, about 7 million people now live in Libya. how the pro-Western are sitting in Tripoli, and we are Egypt, the UAE behind Haftar. The UK is already convening the Security Council. So the Skripal case will soon sparkle with new colors. Who is thinking? Will the West decide on new bombing of Libya?

      While active hostilities are underway, no one will even think about negotiations (they correctly answered the UNA - where you used to be). But some time later, there will be a desire to sit at the negotiating table, and Khalif Haftar will give consent to them, I think only with the participation of Russia, and not some kind of henchmen there.

        In 1988, he established contacts with the Libyan National Salvation Front, an opposition organization based in Chad. Shortly after this, Haftar was released from prison. He was planning an invasion of Libya, but Gaddafi preempted him, staging a coup in Chad. The CIA had to evacuate the general and 350 supporters to Zaire, then to Kenya, and finally to the United States. Some sources report his links with the US Central Intelligence Agency [2]. After the termination of relations with the Gaddafi regime, Haftar, according to the publication Manipulations africaines, published by Le Monde diplomatique, could have its own armed forces created with funds from the CIA [3]. After entering the United States in the 1990s, Haftar received American citizenship and settled in Vienna, Virginia [4] and lived there for 20 years.

        For a while, he collaborated with the CIA and the Liberation Salvation Front, developing a conspiracy to overthrow Gaddafi. In 1996, Haftar attempted to lead a rebellion in the mountains of southern Libya, but it failed [5]. Some people were captured and executed.

        Just not for free. This was one of the reasons for the start of aggression against Libya. Gaddafi very well undressed foreign oil companies in favor of the state. They there under production sharing agreements received only 10 -15% of the production, despite the fact that they invested more money.
        He also troll foreigners regularly offering to donate a good amount of money in favor of victims of American aggression. And they paid, grinding their teeth.

      Almost all commentators here are very far from what was happening and is happening in Libya.
      I worked there until the very beginning of the revolution. Flew in 2001 from there when already all over Tripoli machine gunners ran.
      Gaddafi destroyed the Libyans themselves. And the main mistake of Gaddafi was at the beginning of rapprochement with the West. But the matter is not in the West itself. With this rapprochement, the Libyans themselves experienced an era of change.
      When I arrived in Libya in 2009, the locals were afraid to even pronounce the name of Gaddafi. A year later, when this very rapprochement began, they were no longer afraid. And a year later, they completely opened up and it turned out that all the locals were fed up with Gaddafi, and for various reasons. For the older generation, because there is little Sharia, women have the opportunity to study and work, and in general they judge people not according to Sharia. Young people hated him because "we want it like in the West." And very little spoke for Gaddafi himself in conversations with locals. Almost none other than our deputy director from the Libyans, who was probably a secret service.
      The West just took advantage of the situation.
      Now they probably understand that they made a mistake in 2011.
