Libya’s Haftar orders forces to advance toward ‘decisive battle’ for Tripoli

Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Khalifa Haftar has ordered his forces to begin advancing toward Tripoli and said gunmen in the city would be provided with safety in exchange for laying down their arms.

“The Libyan National Army is inevitably victorious in the Battle of Tripoli. We call on the units that are advancing toward Tripoli to abide by the rules of engagement. We call on the militants who are fighting our army to remain in their homes and they will be safe,” Haftar said in a televised address late on Thursday.

Haftar has been leading an assault to take the capital from the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA).

A scenario most observers fear is that of Saif #Gaddafi joining #Haftar, which as of right now, remains to be seen as talks have been frozen recently.
Active prominent former officials such as Gaddafi AlDam & Bashir Saleh however are actively supporting the #LNA.

I'd have no expertise in this but wouldn't that be great (sarcasm), a Gaddafi back in power after everything that has happened?
