Beschreibung:

Geography: Libya, tripolii, eastern basis, Al-Khadim
Warring Factions: Govt of National Accord GNA aligned forces and LNA under Khalifa Haftar UAE backed the libyan national Army LNA
Duration: Covert strikes in Aug 2014, 2017- 2021 ( 5 years allegedly)
Weapons Supplier: UN backed GNA while UAE backed LNA
Description: The Libyan National Army (LNA) forces commanded by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar marched on Tripoli from their base in eastern Libya in an attempt to seize the capital. They expected a swift victory, But they miscalculated: rather than swooping into the capital, they became stranded on its outskirts, settling into a war of attrition with forces from Tripoli and Misrata nominally loyal to the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) and its Presidential Council, headed by Faiez Serraj. Haftar is claiming success and, seeming to believe victory is within reach, refusing calls for a cessation of hostilities. On their side, forces nominally loyal to the GNA have pegged the resumption of talks to the LNA’s complete withdrawal from western Libya. Otherwise, they say, they will push out the LNA by force. Both sides see themselves as pursuing a just cause and, convinced that their military objective is achievable with a little outside help, have shown signs of doubling down.
