Saddam Haftar, one of the sons of the commander-in-chief of the self-proclaimed Libyan National Army (LNA), Khalifa Haftar, would have met in Italy, in Rome, a group of American entrepreneurs to discuss investment opportunities in the North African country. “Libya Udpate” underlines that the operation “reflects the openness of the prominent Libyan commander Saddam towards the West and the efforts to find a balance in Libya”. According to the Libyan press, Saddam Haftar could be promoted soon to the rank of lieutenant general (equivalent to a three-star general). The Susah safe port, the US company reported at the time, is conceived as a multi-purpose deep-water seaport, the first public-private partnership port project in Libya and the first port to be built to be globally competitive and efficient in the country North African. The “Susah Secure Port” project, the company added, could play a “fundamental role in the reconstruction phase of Libya and was recently approved by the Libyan Government of National Unity” based in Tripoli.
