Haftar's Forces Deployed En Masse Around Tripoli

Click to see full-size image

On March 15th, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) began to mobilize its forces towards Tripoli, reportedly for a heavy, and potentially final, offensive on Tripoli.

Videos and photographs of quite a bit of military vehicles were shared on social media.

 

It is not announced what specifically the operation would ensue, just that troops are being mobilized.

Meanwhile, the LNA air force carried out heavy air strikes and shelling on Government of National Accord (GNA) forces, as well as the Syrian militants deployed by Turkey in the area of Misrata.

GNA vehicles were also destroyed by the LNA.

The LNA spokesman, Brigadier General Ahmed al-Mismari, on March 15th, held a press conference.

Mesmari asserted that the Libyan Armed Forces agreed to the truce but would never accept threats by militias. The LNA spokesperson stated that Misrata militias attempts to attack the forces in Al Jufra and Sirte using advanced ammunition and drones supplied by Turkey.

The LNA spokesperson also disclosed an attempt by militias to target Al Jufra Airbase by a Turkish-made drone that was downed by the LNA southern Libya.

Mesmari stated that the Turkish spheres of influence in Libya are Misrata, Tripoli, and Zuwara saying that the LNA has spotted all the locations of Turkish troops in Libya.

The LNA spokesperson accused Turkey of transporting 300-400 mercenaries to Libya weekly by civilian aircrafts and ships that are protected by international laws. A number of those ships carry the flags of certain countries. For instance, a ship carrying mercenaries was raising the flag of Lebanon.

Mesmari declared that the number of Turkish officers on Libyan soil has reached 1,000 while that of mercenaries has recorded 7,500. Mesmari stated that the LNA struck Turkish targets in Mitiga International Airport.

Mesmari revealed that the LNA has 85,000 soldiers, and that 7,000 were martyred since the launching operation to capture Tripoli from the enemy was launched in April 2019. That is in addition to thousands of injuries.

On the side of the GNA, there appears to be infighting as a video purportedly showed factions within the GNA forces attack each other.

Most people in the whole world knows the killing of Gadaffy is not about oil and he got payd well.

The problem was, what he used those money for and against.

You of course also ignore the oilcompanies which helped him taking up oil and gas dont want to leave those expensive facilities and incomes for nothing just because some random ones say so.

And Yes 85% of the oil was made for Europe. We also invented the use of oil and are dependent. But You forget 3/4 of libyans and others in Your belowed Arabistan was not even been born, if we did most of oiljobs and payd tax.

You are not able to innovate everything and forget our oilcome is were we use it for all kinds of production BY WORK and BY MACHINES. Crude oil mainly is like You mainly dirt and water.

People like You usually are not even able to read the holy Choran and certainly dont follow it but expect we should treat You as the followers of Muhammed being not the last Prophet.

Muhammed was no begger doing nothing to improve things insisting in no change.

They are not in this at all. Hillary kind of made that change. There are others. You shoud mention them and blame them as well as the others.

And dont forget having a mirror to dee Yourself and clean Your own part of it Yourself. You not even try.

People like You always try to blame others and even Arabs are or for that matter Turks all are agreeing little robots.

how is the Caliph of Constantinople going to explain the coming turkish debacle to his fans in Turkey. “Dear President Putin could you save my a** again?”

Barba_Papa

100% true.

But on the other hand the GNA has been unable to push Haftar’s forces back, despite receiving more and more aid from Turkey and its Syrian Orcs its been shipping to Libya.
