Sarraj threatens Haftar with the invitation to Libya of international forces under the auspices of the UN

The head of the Government of National Accord (PNS) of Libya, Faiz Sarraj, who is considered to be the head of the Libyan government in the West and is sitting in Tripoli, threatened to call international forces under the auspices of the UN in Libya if the Libyan National Army continues its offensive Khalifa Haftar. He stated this in an interview published in the newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

If Khalifa Haftar does not stop his offensive, the international community will have to take measures, namely to protect the civilian population of Libya, including through international forces. Such forces must operate under the auspices of the UN. Professionals then need to discuss who will participate, such as the European Union, the African Union or the League of Arab States

- he said.

At the same time, Sarraj called the role of the European Union in resolving the conflict in Libya insignificant. According to him, he expected a "more active position" and the EU’s speech against the offensive of Haftar.

Europeans came too late

- added Sarraj.

Meanwhile, German media reported that the commander of the LNA, Khalifa Haftar, arrived in Berlin to attend a conference to resolve the conflict in Libya

Germany will hold an international conference on the settlement of the situation in Libya on January 19 in Berlin. In addition to representatives of the warring Libyan parties, representatives are expected to participate, including at the level of heads of state, Russia, Algeria, Great Britain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, China, the United States, Turkey, and France.

From the text of the article:

In this case, Haftar called the role of the European Union insignificant in resolving the conflict in Syria. According to him, he expected a "more active position" and EU appearances against the offensive of Haftar.

Where is the editor?

[Mountain shooter]

Does this naive think that UN international forces will FIGHT for the interests of a puppet government?
These forces generally have the right to shoot only when guarding their own lives. These forces do not enter the zone of active hostilities ...

[bessmertniy]

Too large a contingent of the UN is unlikely to be able to enter Libya, but it will not be of any use - it will not be able to distinguish between the warring parties.

[Graz]

it is obvious that Saraj is a traitor to his people, for which Gaddafi defended independence and sovereignty, how can jackals be invited to occupy and plunder his country, there are few examples of Yugoslavia and Iraq

Why not, if it is the UN and the EU that recognize, as you said, the puppet government? Of course, they will not fight, but they can introduce a peacekeeping contingent to save the Sarajah government. Only Haftar has one trump card, which is that Islamic jihadists and other terrorists are fighting on the side of Sarajah, which means the UN is blowing in support of terrorism, which is certainly an inconvenient circumstance for the UN.

[sagitch]

Who are we for? Those. Russia. Or take a wait position.

[ltc35]

There, it is now unacceptable for the side to take sides. This is a choice between the bad and a little worse. If one side were a little more adequate than the other, then the advantage would be on its side.

And how do you like this?
Why can the operation to free Tripoli be called counterterrorism?

 Show / Hide text

The Libyan National Army is fighting closer and closer to the center of Tripoli. Today, there is no doubt that the victory of Marshal Haftar is a matter of a very near future, and the central square of the Libyan capital - Martyrs Square - will very soon hear a clear step of his ceremonial calculations. But while the war continues. Although, the word "war" is not entirely appropriate here. "Counter-terrorist operation" - perhaps this is what should be called what is happening these days in Libya.
Why "counter-terrorism"? Yes, if only because the forces opposing Marshall are actively relying on the help of armed groups that do not have legal status. In other words, bandits.
Because these forces decided that “they are the power here” and began active trade in the country's bowels, gaining both their own pockets and the budgets of the aforementioned bandits with profit, and the latter, feeling complete impunity, in the territories controlled by the PNS, replaced all state strong structure.
What can we say about the situation of ordinary Libyans and about what abyss of despair Fayez Sarraj and his puppeteers from the aforementioned gangster "jamaats" drove them to? The compelled insolvency of law enforcement forces in Tripoli, Misurat, Sirte and other cities and towns of the terrorist part of Libya once again proved the well-known thesis: where there is no State, lawlessness rules there. And the guardians of this lawlessness are characters like this:
“I received a thousand dinars per week (about 15000 rubles - approx. FAN) plus a monthly bonus of 750 dinars. Spent them on food and drugs. Here, almost everyone has their own supplier of “substances” and they pay so much to us because they know what they are going to and encourage it: commanders need us not to be afraid to fight and not to feel pain in case of a possible injury. In addition, many, including myself, have no military training - nobody taught us anything. They just came, taken away, taken away to the war and gave weapons. Although, some came to fight themselves - for the sake of money and new cars, which sometimes turned out to be free. Now I can say that I was lucky to be born a Libyan and that the soldiers of Marshal treated me normally during detention, saying that I was their brother. “I want to apologize to my parents and tell them not to leave my pregnant wife,” - says the detained PNS fighter Ahmed Ali Barka.

[ltc35]

In fact, any state is a grouping, a community, clothed with law. And who and how is seeking power is soon "forgotten" or covered with legends. Examples: any state.

You are one of the few who understands at least something.

You are one of the few who understands at least something.

However, what political passions flare up on the site ... Thank God that there are already two of you ...
I want to please you with the fact that despite some kind of relations between Russia and Libya, an understanding of what is happening and the Russian situation in the world community does not at all depend on either Haftar or Sarraj. It is time for Russia to recognize completely different priorities and goals, and not try to grasp the immensity.
And then we began to get used to being forced to choose which of the American candidates for the presidency is better - Trump or Clinton. As a result, Trump does not want to not only meet with the leader of Russia, but also adds to our country a package of economic inconveniences. Then we became interested in the attitude of China towards Russia.
Now it’s Libya’s turn ...
Now ask yourself if you can sing:

I left the hut
I went to fight
To land in Libya land in grenada
Peasants Give to Haftar.

And after that, we will all together listen to your interpretation of what is happening and the reasons that prompted you to think that way. Perhaps we will "stand under your banner" ...

[LiSiCyn]

In fact, we are for Haftar. But not officially. There is such a tangle mixed up, you are tormented without a bottle to understand
Many "allies" suddenly became "opponents". True, after Haftar's arrival in Moscow, ours distanced themselves from direct (indirect) participation. But at the level of advisors and technical staff, they are present.

Haftara elected the people, and Saraj is the UN appointee. I think the point is this.

[LiSiCyn]

Quote: Kleber

Saraj is the UN appointed.

Not certainly in that way. Saraj - recognized by the UN. And then, when Haftar was still on the horizon.

[Kleber]

On October 9, 2015, the Libyan National Unity Government was announced. Bernardino Leon, Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Libya on the same day at a press conference he announced that Faiz Saraj would become the country's prime minister

[LiSiCyn]

Quote: Kleber

Because the government was formed and many "players" were involved, I doubt that Saraj was appointed by the UN. Rather, there was a compromise, and the UN has legitimized it.

Such forces must operate under the auspices of the UN. Professionals then need to discuss who will participate, such as the European Union, the African Union or the League of Arab States

- he said.

There is a huge distance between "should" and "accept".
Sometimes years pass until the international community decides what to do or not to do.
So - this is a "cry to the well".

[parusnik]

After such statements, before the conference, it is unlikely that any compromise decisions will be made that suit both parties .. No, of course, some kind of document will be adopted, but the opposing sides will not execute points on it ... Bolivar will not bear two .. .

The head of the Government of National Accord (PNS) of Libya, Faiz Sarraj, who is considered the head of the Libyan government in the West and is sitting in Tripoli, threatened to call international forces under the auspices of the UN to Libya if the Libyan National Army continues its offensive Khalifa Haftar. He stated this in an interview published in the newspaper Welt am Sonntag. A naive dreamer. Haftar has as many supporters among Western countries as Sarraj. Libya needs a decisive victory by one of the parties to begin to restore order in the country. So far, Haftar seems more capable of doing this.

[rusich]

Sarraj let him remember Korea. They also invited there

[Ross xnumx]

I understand that Sarraj in Libya, that Guaido in Venezuela ...
But it’s time for the Libyans to remember whether they lived well under Gaddafi and draw conclusions ...

[knn54]

Haftar needs to hold a referendum and create a state of Cyrenaica.
There is much less oil in Tripolitania.
As a ONE state, Libya is not viable. Not as a monarchy, nor as a republic.

Turkey is not profitable. and ours too.

Sarraj threatens Haftar with the invitation to Libya of international forces under the auspices of the UN

UN in this case pf-e, will be measured by someone sponsors cooler!
Better to make peace ... in extreme cases, there should be ONE, but so Schaub CAPITAL, STRONG!

[askort154]

Europeans came too late - added Sarraj.

And if they did not come at all, then Libya would remain - a single, prosperous state.

[Thrifty]

Aha, some have already brought in their own occupation armed bandit formations, the Turks tried to "throw kerosene into the fire"!

[Oquzyurd]

The Turks are already in Tripoli. Previously, there were only 35 "expert advisors", but now special forces + artillery + anti-tank systems + air defense + electronic warfare systems "Coral", etc. That is, Havtor missed the victory. They can agree, as others options are exhausted.

[Chingachguk]

Is this yet another Yugoslavia? Under the auspices of the UN, mattresses will start to dust part of Libya?

[Svetlana]

The blind man. I would have looked around and saw that the Hohls had been dying out for many years as peacekeepers. But somehow somehow

[maidan.izrailovich]

... the hohls have been dumbing down peacekeepers for many years. But somehow somehow

The Ukrainians have a bummer with oil. So the "peacekeepers" are not coming.
And where there is oil, "peacekeepers" are right there.

[Svetlana]

I'm about Peacekeepers and not about "Peacekeepers"

[Leonidych]

While they will resolve issues with the introduction of peacekeepers, Haftar will take all of Libya. Entering peacekeepers is a very long process.

[Avior]

... At the same time, Haftar called the role of the European Union insignificant in resolving the conflict in Syria. According to him, he expected a "more active position" and the EU's action against Haftar's offensive.

Something Haftarov too much, messed up, it seems

[xGibSoNx]

Actually, it’s not clear why they haven’t entered yet ?! Something like a world of miracles .. A guy in uniform, suddenly decided to remember something there and began to attack the type of government approved by the UN .. And at the same time, everyone is betting ... Are the laws somehow not taken into account? Then what for they are needed at all.
