[ALMARSAD.CO] According to Kamel al-Mirash in a statement to the Russian agency Sputnik today, Friday, the first implication from Field Marshal 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. Actually, he is, but slowly...
’s speech is that there is no longer room to talk about the Skhirat Agreement and the Government of National Accord (GNA) that resulted from it. This ends all the efforts made in Geneva and other venues, especially after direct Ottoman Turkish intervention in the Libyan conflict and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
’s insistence on sending military equipment and mercenaries to fight the army.
The second implication is the failure of all political parties that emerged after 2011. "The Libyan political, economic, social, or health domains currently suffer corruption and deterioration," asserted al-Mirash.
The third implication, argued the political analyst, is that it is no longer feasible or even tenable to deal with the present political figures or allow them to manage public affairs in Libya, especially the resources of the Libyan people. Therefore the Army’s victory in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
was essential and would prevent any political vacuum, according to al-Mirash.
