Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive on Tripoli early April to take control of the city to allegedly free it from terror groups. French foreign minister Tuesday told lawmakers French President Emmanuel Macron wants to meet leaders of both sides to rekindle an UN-proposed roadmap that will conclude with elections later this year. Le Drian’s comments seem to confirm last week report by Libya Observer that Haftar was scheduled to travel to Paris. Macron had already met with GNA leader Fayez Serraj last week in Paris. The GNA had accused France of bringing support for Haftar and suspended security cooperation with the European country.
