Haftar forces to perform tactical withdrawal in southern Tripoli

Spokesperson of warlord Haftar, Ahmed Al-Mismari, said that their forces will perform “a tactical withdrawal” from some frontlines in southern Tripoli, just hours after losing the strategic Watiya airbase to GNA forces.

Speaking in a press conference in the early hours of Tuesday, Al-Mismari claimed that Khalifa Haftar decided to withdraw so that local residents pass Eid Al Fitr holiday in peace.

Al-Mismari’s statement is seen as a declaration of the end of Haftar’s war on Tripoli.
