Libyan Sheikhs and Elders Council: Qatar Continues to Communicate with Terrorist Groups
 [ALMARSAD.CO] The spokesperson for the Supreme Council of Libyan Sheikhs and Elders, Abu Bakr Suleiman Mardamah said that Libyans support the Libyan National Army (LNA), led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war.

He noted that the Libyans have declared the call for Jihad not to fight against other Libyans but to fight Ottoman occupation. He stressed that all the Libyan tribal members have been fighting in various axis under the umbrella of the LNA to confront the Ottoman occupation that tried to break the bonds among the Libyans and spread conflict across the country. "Libyans in the Mosaed crossing in the east, at Las Jdir in the west, at Tamsah and Kaftah in the southeast, and at Tajirai and Qatron in the southeast are backing the Armed Forces in its war against terrorism," he added. Mardamah pointed out that Libya does not embrace turbans who are loyal to Turkey, yet they exist mainly in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya.
