German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected a military solution to Libya. She hosted Libyan General Khalifa Haftar at the chancellery. German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said Merkel and Haftar discussed the situation in Libya. "The Chancellor reiterated once again strongly that a military solution to the Libyan conflict is not possible and that the political process established at the Berlin conference is therefore essential," Seibert stressed.ATSH© Balkans Web
