Eastern forces prepare to move war to Tripoli
The spokesman of Operation Dignity forces led by Khalifa Haftar and appointed by Tobruk-based House of Representatives, Ahmed Al-Mesmari, said their next target is Tripoli after finishing war on terrorism in Benghazi.
“Tripoli and all of the western region will be our next target and the leader of our forces’ operations room in the west Edriss Madi is going to make sure the operation starts successfully.” Al-Mesmari added on Sunday.”
Operation Dignity, which started alleged war on terror in Benghazi in May 2014, has many times threatened of what it called liberating Tripoli from “Islamic militias.”
