Haftar, Gaddafi-era Revolutionary Committees figures sign secret deal in UAE to share power
|
[Libya Observer] A secret deal between 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. Guess you can't win them all...
and figures from the Muammar Qadaffy

, the channel added.
"Haftar proposed to share power in Libya with the figures of the Revolutionary Committees and to enable the Qadaffy loyalists to regain power in Libya in return for having their support in the ongoing fighting." The report added, saying they discussed intensifying military and media attacks on the cities that are defending Tripoli, especially Misrata.
According to Libya al-Ahrar, the meetings were very confidential so they avoid any reactions from the Qadaffy loyalists who think of the UAE as a country that helped topple Qadaffy in 2011.
It added that the leader at the Qadaffy-era Revolutionary Committees Mustafa al-Zaydi was one of people who arrived in Abu Dhabi, coming from Cairo, to meet with Haftar.
Meanwhile,
