Abdulhadi Lahweej, Libya’s foreign minister in the Benghazi-based government gestures during an interview with the Associated Press in Paris, France, Thursday, May 9, 2019. “Our goal is not to rule or to establish a military government. We want a government that the Libyan people choose and we will approve of whatever the people choose,” he said. Hifter’s forces have battled Islamic extremists and other rival factions across eastern Libya, and recently made inroads in the south. “In clear and simple words, we do not want to rule the Libyan people,” Lahweej said.
