Libya’s Strongman

by | May 22, 2019

On FPF #352, I discuss the military power of the Libyan Field Marshal Haftar. Haftar came to power in the vacuum left by Obama’s war in Libya and now controls most of Libya.

Most of the military equipment was given to him by allies of the US like UAE, Egypt, and France.
