Russia ‘surprised’, US disappointed at Haftar’s self-declared power grab in Libya

Russia found the popular mandate claim by Libya rogue General Khalifa Haftar, who is backed by Moscow, to be “surprising”, state news agency RIA reported on Tuesday, after the United States announced it “regrets” Haftar’s announcement.

Haftar, head of the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA), said on Monday he had a “popular mandate” to govern the country, declaring the end of a key 2015 political deal and vowing to press his assault to seize Tripoli.

According to RIA , a Russian foreign ministry source added that decisions from January’s Berlin summit were meant to be implemented by Libyans with the help of the international community.

That is an intriguing situation over there. I think one side is more good but I am no expert, I have hnches about this. This Haftar fellow actually, became a naturalized US citizen some years ago though he is a Libyan by birth. He is the leader of one side.
