Gen. Khalifa Hafter and his Libyan National Army (LNA) attacked the Tripoli sea port on Tuesday, along with a Turkish military ship that was heading into the port with a delivery of weapons and other equipment for their military mission backing the Government of National Accord (GNA).
The GNA responded by pulling out of the ongoing ceasefire talks in Geneva. They threatened further measures against the LNA and warned that if the attack had damaged a gas tanker in the port they could’ve caused a humanitarian disaster.
The LNA has been trying to conquer Tripoli since April, the latest in a line of Hafter-led coup attempts. This is by far the longest-lasting coup bid, and the LNA is controlling a lot of the country at this point.
The LNA is being backed internationally by a number of nations, primarily Egypt and the UAE, while the GNA’s only major backer, beyond nominal UN recognition, is Turkey. Turkey has committed to sending military force to aid them, and so far has dispatched Syrian rebels to the country.
Uh, “coup attempt” isn’t even close to the appropriate term here.
Is it mere coincidence that most military conflicts in the world
involve Muslim nations?
That is who the US attacks. They are wars of aggression, and just what is to be expected from them, as here where a CIA asset is leader of the faction that launched this attack.

Qaddafi’s Libya was also a “living hell”, my point.
But we agree, it wasn’t any business for the US.
Sure, other than having the highest standard of living in northern Africa.

LOL, “highest standard” in northern Africa! WOW!
Accurate and a far cry from “living hell”.
“Libyans lived in safety, whereas today many need protection; migrants had reasonable living conditions as they were housed in camps, half-way homes in their trip towards Europe after receiving documentation. Today they are sold as slaves or tortured or raped. Or all three. Or murdered. Libyans enjoyed free public healthcare, in Libya and paid public healthcare abroad if they could not get the treatment they needed. Today the healthcare system has collapsed. Libyans used to enjoy a plentiful food supply and prided themselves on offering guests copious portions of their national dishes. Today a third of the population is hungry or starving. Libyans benefitted from Gaddafi’s great manmade water supply across the desert, bringing clean water to the cities and countryside alike. Today an increasing number of people have no access to clean drinking water.”
Libya was not a living hell . Gaddafi shared his countries wealth with the Libyan people very well . Gaddafi did a good job
