French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian has expressed concern about the situation in Libya, due to what he called “the failure of the solution proposed by the United Nations to the conflict parties”.

Bipartisan group of US lawmakers sent a letter Thursday to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray asking the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of war crimes against Khalifa Haftar, who is also an American citizen.

Libyan National Army fighters, headed by Marshal Khalifa Haftar, targeted positions of forces belonging to the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Azizia area, south of the capital, Tripoli.

Reuters reported Wednesday the senior United Arab Emirates Minister official Anwar Gargash as saying that Libya’s Khalifa Haftar did not consult with the Gulf Arab state before his move on the capital Tripoli.

Italian news agency Aki said Khalifa Haftar is expected to visit Rome in the few coming days. Aki added that Haftar is going to go to Paris on Wednesday and then visit Rome afterward, citing sources close to him.

France said in a statement issued on Wednesday on its Foreign Ministry website that its stance is well known and unwavering, that is, only a political solution under the authority of the UN will make it possible to end the conflict in Libya.

The Libyan ambassador to the European Union Hafid Gadour said political dialogue in Libya won’t be resumed until Khalifa Haftar’s forces pull out to their previous positions, urging for international guarantees for a truce in Libya.

On April 15, President Donald Trump telephoned Libyan militia commander Khalifa Haftar and praised his Libyan National Army’s offensive against the internationally recognized government in Tripoli. Citing a “shared vision” for Libya, the U.S. president acknowledged Haftar’s value in fighting terrorism, maintaining oil production, and shepherding the country’s democratic transition.

The war for Tripoli recently entered its second month, and the main global and regional powers have yet to adopt a coherent or unified approach to the conflict. In fact, their recent actions indicate they are willing to tacitly condone Khalifa Hifter’s offensive by not rallying together to oppose it.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron wants to meet Libya’s renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar to push for a ceasefire and resume peace talks.
