Libya's battlefields, already saturated with fighters, getting more
Thus far, Turkey’s direct support to the Tripoli government has been limited to armored vehicles as well as drones. But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accelerated a parliamentary vote to early January to deploy his nation’s troops in support of the Tripoli government; a move that Turkish officials claim is meant to stave off further chaos in Libya.
Haftar, meanwhile, has received support from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan and France, as well as the assistance of mercenaries from Chad, Sudan and Russia. “The recruitment of these fighters began 10 days ago. They’re offered around $2,000 to fight in Tripoli for three to six months,” said Rami Abdul Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor that supports the Syrian opposition, in a phone interview Sunday.
The videos spurred swift denials from the Tripoli government as well as leaders in the Syrian National Army.
