Libyan strongman Haftar tells Macron no ceasefire for now
Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar, who is leading a military offensive against the UN-recognized government in Tripoli, has rejected a ceasefire requested by French President Emmanuel Macron during talks in Paris, an Elysee official says.
Hafter said the conditions for halting hostilities “were not met,” while acknowledging that a “political dialogue” is needed to end the standoff with his rival, Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj, the official says on condition of anonymity.
