Haftar paid an official visit to Paris

Marshal of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Khalifa Haftar arrived in Paris on an official visit, a Libyan military source told.

“That’s true”, – the source said in response to a question about reports of Haftar’s arrival in Paris.

After the overthrow and assassination of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya virtually ceased to function as a single state. Dual power reigns in the country now. The parliament elected by the people sits in the east, and in the west, in the capital Tripoli, the Government of National Accord, formed with the support of the UN and the European Union, rules. The authorities of the eastern part of the country operate independently of Tripoli and cooperate with the army of Marshal Khalifa Haftar.
