Breaking news-GNA ‘regains full control of Tripoli’ from Haftar

Libya’s UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) has declared itself in full control of Tripoli after recapturing the capital’s airport,the BBC reported.

Gen Khalifa Haftar’s forces have been besieging the city since April 2019.

But intensified military support from Turkey helped government forces drive Gen Haftar’s forces back from the frontlines.

A new diplomatic effort is underway to try to restart talks on a lasting ceasefire.

The recapture of the international airport in Tripoli – long out of use – is the strongest symbolic victory for the Libyan government so far, reports the BBC’s Arab affairs editor Sebastian Usher.
