and Misrata against Khalifa Hafter and his Libyan National Army (LNA) for their attack on Tripoli.
Besides Hafter and his LNA, La Belle France was singled out for criticism as many demonstrators wore yellow vests to mimic the anti Emmanuel Macron Gay Paree demonstrators.
The war losses continued, meanwhile, as the World Health Organization reported 227 deaths and 1,128 maimed.
While Britannia and Italia continued to seek an end to the fighting and a return to dialogue, LNA Spokesperson, Ahmed Mesmari "welcomed the international political support for the LNA".
The welcome comes after the revelation by the Whitehouse on Friday that Donald Trump

had spoken by phone to Khalifa Hafter earlier in the week. They had discussed "ongoing counterterrorism efforts".
A White House statement said that in the phone call on Monday, Trump "recognized Field Marshal Haftar’s significant role in fighting terrorism and securing Libya’s oil resources, and the two discussed a shared vision for Libya’s transition to a stable, democratic political system".
