Libya's Army under GNA depicts military mobilization for Haftar's forces in the east

[Libya Observer] The front man for the Sirte-Jufra Operations Room under the command of the Government of National Accord (GNA) Abdelhadi Drah said they had depicted massive military mobilization for 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.

Drah told news hounds that Haftar's forces had been mobilizing in Sirte port and in Jufra, saying the "warlord could be preparing for violating the ceasefire agreement and all solution efforts to the Libyan crisis as well as the agreements made by the 5+5 joint military commission.

Several sources confirmed earlier that Russian Wagner Group and Sudanese Janjaweed mercenaries had been moving around Sirte and Jufra as they had been digging trenches and setting up anti-aircraft systems from western Sirte to Ras Lanuf and Jufra.

Russian media outlets unveiled details about transports of heavy anti-aircraft system, Serbian LRSVM Morava system, from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Haftar in Libya, adding that the UAE owned those modern Serbian anti-aircraft systems and it had transported them to Haftar’s forces in Libya.

Russian media also pointed out that the Serbian LRSVM Morava anti-aircraft systems had been seen in military maneuvers done by the so-called Tariq bin Ziyad Brigade of Haftar’s forces.
