Haftar and son meet UN envoy in Libya
Khalifa Haftar, accompanied by his son Saddam Haftar, met on Sunday with the United Nations Special Envoy to Libya, Hanna Tetteh, at his headquarters in al-Rajma.
According to media outlets close to Haftar, discussions focused on the security situation in the capital, Tripoli, as well as prospects for national elections and upcoming political deadlines.
The meeting comes amid ongoing deadlock in Libya’s electoral process, with disputes persisting between political and military factions over electoral laws and candidate eligibility.
