Turkish-backed forces cutoff strategic Libyan Army supply line
2020-06-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) forces announced on Thursday that they had tightened control over a major supply line for the Libyan National Army (LNA).

According to the GNA’s official Facebook page, "Operation Volcano Anger", their forces on Wednesday evening extended control over a major supply line that stretches to the outskirts of the Libyan capital.

The Government of National Accord forces published a map that shows that this road leads from the city of al-Shweref, north of the city of Sebha to the north, where it branches in three directions towards the cities of Nessma, al-Qurayyat, and Morsit, south of the capital 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...
This comes against the backdrop of accelerated field developments in Libya recently, where the Ottoman Turkish-backed forces were able to achieve tangible field successes and extend their control over the entire Greater Tripoli region and the strategic city of Tarhouna.

The Government of National Accord forces are now attempting to capture the strategic city of Sirte, which is where the Libyan National Army is heavily resisting the Ottoman Turkish-backed assault.

Despite assistance from their Ottoman Turkish allies, however, the Government of National Accord forces have been unable to retake Sirte as of yet, as their casualties continue to mount at the hands of the LNA.
