| [Libya Herald] The Khalifa Hafter Libyan National Army (LNA) and its regional allies seemed to have ben repulsed overnight in their thrust towards 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... . The newly-formed Western Region coalition of anti-Hafter forces launched the ’’Wadi (Ouadi) Doum 2’’ operation to counter Hafter’s attack on Tripoli. Wadi Doum is a military airstrip build by Qadaffy in northern Chad where Hafter was defeated and captured by Chadian government forces fighting for the Qadaffy regime in 1986. Ironically, Hafter’s defeat and capture in 1987 was facilitated by French support for the Chad government at the time. |
