BERLIN - A Libyan military commander waging an offensive to capture the capital Tripoli is committed to a ceasefire, Germany said on Thursday, in an apparent advance for efforts to end a near-decade of turmoil in the North African country.
Haftar’s office was not available for comment. But three sources close to the matter told Reuters that Haftar was expected to have talks in Athens on Friday with Greece’s prime minister and foreign minister during a stopover on his way to Berlin. “If developments in Libya are allowed to continue, then Libya will be the next Syria and we don’t want that to happen,” Maas said later on German television.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the move and said the conference aimed to get parties to honour a weapons embargo. Turkey backs Fayez al-Serraj’s internationally recognised Government of National Accord while Haftar - whose forces control much of Libya’s east and south - has received support from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Russian mercenaries.
