  • Libya's eastern strongman Khalifa Haftar offered his backing Thursday for a peace process that seeks to end a decade of chaos, after meeting the head of a new transitional presidential council. The military commander met with Mohammad Younes Menfi, a former diplomat who also comes from eastern Libya, and who was selected last week in a UN-backed process to head the three-member presidency council. Haftar offered "the support of the armed forces for the peace process, to defend democracy and the peaceful transfer of power," a statement from his office read. Menfi landed at Benina airport in the eastern Libyan port city Benghazi from Greece on Thursday and went straight to meet Haftar at his headquarters at Rajma, some 25 kilometres (15 miles) outside town. Oil-rich Libya has been torn by civil war since a NATO-backed uprising led to the toppling and killing of dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011. The country has in recent years been split between a Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli, and an eastern-based administration, backed by Haftar. A new interim executive was chosen on February 5 by the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum in Switzerland, comprised of 75 participants selected by the UN to represent a broad cross-section of society. Haftar reiterated a recent pledge of support for the leaders of this new executive authority, who were chosen "so that they can reunite the institutions and lead the country to elections", Thursday's statement read. Haftar's spokesman Ahmad al-Mesmari had on Saturday congratulated Menfi and Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, who was selected as interim prime minister, alongside "the Libyan people", on the outcome of the selection process. The prime minister of the outgoing GNA, Fayez al-Sarraj, on Friday wished the new executive "success in their mission". The interim authority is mandated to lead Libya through to elections scheduled for December. rb/pjm/dwo
