The holy war against Turkish intervention will not end until victory is achieved.
This statement was made by the commander of the Libyan National Army, Marshal Khalifa Haftar, in his address to the citizens of the country.
“The jihad of the Armed Forces in the name of security and stability in Libya will continue”, – he said. – This comprehensive war can be completed only by victory, because we have already fought against terrorism. And we will fight until the colonizer is defeated”.
As News Front previously reported, Marshal Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army resumed its offensive on Tripoli late last year. The government of national consensus in response requested support from Ankara, after which Turkish-loyal jihadists who fought in Syria came to the aid of local militants.
The Libyan crisis began in 2011. Then, during the armed coup, Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown, which entailed the creation of dual power in the country. So, in Tripoli, with the support of the West, the so-called Government of National Accord was formed, which refused to recognize the Libyan parliament in the city of Tobruk, who nominated General Haftar for the post of commander.
