Libyan government forces launch bid to take back Tripoli airport, under control of warlord Haftar's forces since 2019 and out of service since fighting ensued in 2014
Libya has launched an operation to reclaim Tripoli's airport, south of the country's capital, from warlord Khalifa Haftar's forces, a Libyan army officially announced on Wednesday.
"We officially announce the start of the airport liberation battle," Libyan army spokesman Muhammad Qanunu said, quoted on the army's official Facebook account. Libya’s internationally recognised government or Government of National Accord has been under attack by Haftar's forces since April 2019.The GNA, with Turkish help, has since made strides, seizing a string of towns from Haftar militias, capturing the strategically important Watiya airbase and destroying several of its Russian-made air defence systems.
On Tuesday, the UN Support Mission in Libya said Haftar has agreed to the resumption of ceasefire talks.Libya's new government was founded in 2015 under a UN-led agreement, but efforts for a long-term political settlement failed due to the military offensive by Haftar’s forces.
