TRIPOLI/ROME - France and Italy wrangled on Thursday over how best to tackle renewed conflict in Libya as a bid by eastern forces under Khalifa Haftar to seize Tripoli stalled in the face of strong resistance on the capital’s southern outskirts.
A Reuters reporter heard occasional heavy gunfire and explosions as the eastern Libyan National Army faced off with forces of Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj’s government around the ex-international airport and the Ain Zara district. After sweeping up from the south, LNA bogged down in Tripoli’s southern suburbs 11 km from the city center.
French diplomatic sources said Paris did not object to calls on Haftar to halt his advance, but rather had only requested amendments including mentions of the plight of migrants in Libya and the presence in anti-Haftar forces of Islamist militants designated as terrorists by the United Nations. The number of people forced out of their homes by fighting rose to 8,075, the U.N. migration agency IOM said.
