Libyan army liberates Tarhuna, the last major stronghold of warlord Khalifa Haftar, a day after retaking control of capital Tripoli
The Libyan army on Friday liberated the last major stronghold of warlord Khalifa Haftar.
The advance extends the control of the Government of National Accord and allied forces across most of northwest Libya, reversing many of Haftar's gains from last year when he raced towards Tripoli. Al Majei added that "after combing Tarhuna, we will activate the national security directorate in the city along with the other security services there".Tarhuna was a major focal point for supply lines for Haftar’s militias from Jufra airbase.
The United Nations has started holding talks with both sides for a ceasefire deal in recent days, though previous truces have not stuck. The GNA gains could entrench the de facto partition of Libya into zones controlled by rival eastern and western governments whose foreign backers compete for regional sway.
