Hafter orders Turks and Qataris out of eastern Libya
Turks and Qataris in eastern Libya - "from Sirte to Musaid" (on the Egyptian border) - have been told to leave the country. The stark warning came from General Khalifa Hafter's spokesman, Mohamed Hejazi. He told the Libya Herald that they had to go "within 48 hours" of the warning.

"We captured people from Al-Qaeda in Benghazi and they told us about Turkish intelligence and Qatar intelligence operating from Sirte to Musaid."

The warning was for them, he said. When asked what would happen if they did not go, he replied: "After 48 hours you will see".
He worked for Qadaffi, so we have an idea...
There are far more Turks than Qataris in Libya. However, numbers are unknown. In the case of the former, no figures are kept because Turks can travel to Libya without visas. Nonetheless, Turkish officials estimate that there are at least 5,000 living and working in the country, most of them in Tripoli and the west. In the east, there are thought to be about 500.

It is also not clear if the statement has Hafter's approval although last week he criticised Sudan saying its position on terrorism in Libya was ambiguous.

Qatar has been widely accused in Libya of interfering in Libyan politics and of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamists, an accusation it denies.
Not us; it's them Emirates.
