Greece hosts Libya's warlord Khalifa Haftar for talks ahead of peace summit in Berlin in which Athens is not invited

Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias welcomes Libya's rogue general and warlord Khalifa Haftar outside a hotel in Athens, Greece, January 16, 2020.

In a surprise move, Haftar flew to Athens by private plane on Thursday for meetings not previously announced by the Greek government. Greece has sought a more active role in Libya after the UN-recognised Government of National Accord in Tripoli signed a maritime and military cooperation memorandum with Turkey in November.

The leaders of the North African state's warring factions were in Moscow early this week at talks aimed at finalising a ceasefire orchestrated by Russia and Turkey. Maas had travelled to meet Haftar in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi – one of the warlord's strongholds – in a bid to persuade him to join in the peace initiative.

The battle over Tripoli is the latest unrest to wrack Libya since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising killed leader Muammar Gaddafi. Since then, Libya has been caught up in fighting between rival armed factions, including militants.
