As of yesterday, Wednesday 03/06, the forces of the Government of National Accord (GNA) are inside the Tripoli International Airport, which was occupied after fierce and deadly battles for many days.

In fact, during their retreat, the LNA men left behind large quantities of military supplies and equipment. Images of helicopters, tanks and artillery vehicles are already circulating on social media.

#Libya– #GNA captured the airfield west of Fam Molga with at least 3 helicopters (AW190?) and possibly a 4th, Mi-35 (still not confirmed it’s the same location) along with a lot of ammo.

So far there has been no official reaction from Haftar’s forces which have left the capital and are retreating in a coordinated manner to eastern Libya.

Meanwhile, the president of the National Accord Government, Fagez Al Saratz, is going to Ankara to talk with Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

GNA officials were also sent to Russia for private contacts with Moscow.

As is well known, the alliance of the Libyan government with Turkey is based on the agreements on the maritime demarcation of the two sides made in November, which Greece and the European Union characterize as invalid and illegal.

Following the latest developments, the peace talks proposed by the UN are expected to start on another stand, based on differentiated data.
