Tripoli’s forces violate truce on its 1st day
Sunday 12/January/2020 - 02:19 PM
Libyan National Army has accused Tripoli’s forces of
violating a ceasefire minutes after it was supposed to take effect.
The truce, which was proposed by Russia, was
supposed to have been the first break in fighting in months, and the first
brokered by international players.
Hours after both sides declared they’d observe the
deal, Khalifa Hifter issued a statement that accused Tripoli forces of
violating the ceasefire just minutes after it began.
In recent weeks, Hifter’s forces have made
significant advances. Earlier this week, they captured the strategic coastal
city of Sirte.
