Thank you for reading the news about Haftar's LNA gives government forces ultimatum to 'leave Tripoli' and now with the detailsAden - Yasmine El Tohamy - General Haftar's LNA issued a statement demanding that the powerful Misrata militias, which are fighting on behalf of the UN-supported Government of National Accord (GNA) based in the Libyan capital, withdraw from both Tripoli and the coastal city of Sirte. For months, the LNA and the militias have been locked in fierce clashes on Tripoli's southern outskirts, with the fighting mostly stalemated. Friday's LNA statement warned that if the militias do not withdraw, their town Misrata will continue to be targeted "every day, non stop and in an unprecedentedly intensive way". The warning came shortly after an LNA airstrike targeted sites where Turkish weapons and military equipment had been stored, said the statement. East vs WestSince Hafter's forces launched their offensive on Tripoli in April, both sides have exchanged accusations of deploying allied foreign forces in the ongoing civil war.
