Haftar Holds Talks with US AFRICOM Officials
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Libyan National Army (LNA) Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Khalifa Abu Al-Qasim Haftar, welcomed a high-level U.S. delegation led by Lieutenant General John Brennan, Deputy Commander of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), alongside Jeremy Brent, the Acting U.S. Ambassador to Libya, and an accompanying delegation.

During the meeting, Lt. Gen. Brennan expressed appreciation for the Libyan Armed Forces’ efforts in strengthening security and stability, as well as their commitment to counterterrorism and combating extremism. He emphasized the importance of maintaining these efforts, highlighting their crucial role in ensuring regional stability.

For his part, Field Marshal Haftar underscored the pivotal role of the United States in supporting a peaceful resolution to the Libyan crisis. He praised the progress in U.S.-Libya relations and reaffirmed his commitment to expanding avenues for mutual cooperation between the two nations.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
