Police officers in Ajdabiya ordered to join battles in Tripoli
[Libya Observer] The so-called Ajdabiya operations room of Haftar's forces has issued orders to coppers in the city and its suburbs to join the fighting axes in Tripoli...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... immediately, giving them a one week ultimatum to join in. In the same context, sources confirmed that commander of Ajdabiya operations room, Fawzi al-Mansouri arrived on Sunday in Sabha  ...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town. However, an investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) revealed that while there was illegal slavery, reports were exaggerated, as slave auctions were rare and not made public. This was a great comfort to everyone but the slaves peddled in secret. The city was later seized by forces loyal to the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its leader Khalifa Haftar in January 2019, probably for its collection of MiG-25 aircraft....in the southern region in order to recruit new fighters for the war on Tripoli. These new measures come as Haftar continues to sustain heavy casualties in his forces, as well as his failure to achieve any victory on the ground.
