TRIPOLI - Qatar called on Tuesday for a blocking of foreign arms supplies to eastern Libyan forces commander Khalifa Haftar, whose push to seize the capital Tripoli is causing rifts around the Gulf and Europe.
Yet Tripoli’s roughly 2.5 million people maintained a semblance of normality - even as artillery booms echoed across the city. The conflict has brought a growing humanitarian toll - 174 people, 756 injured and almost 20,000 displaced according to latest United Nations tallies - and sunk for now an international peace plan.
Benghazi-based Haftar enjoys the backing of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, who view him as an anchor to restore stability and combat Islamist militants.Related CoverageQatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told Italian daily La Repubblica a postponed U.N. peace forum should be rescheduled and Haftar’s army made to withdraw.
Paris has given Haftar support in the past, viewing him as the best bet to end the chaos since a NATO-backed rebellion to end Gaddafi’s murderous four-decade rule. “The war ends with the withdrawal of these forces and return from where they came,” Serraj said in a statement on Tuesday.
