Although this is a PR move by Haftar it points out the extend to which Ansar al-Sharia can only expand and grow on Qatari funding and some outside expertise and that the various militias are fighting as a proxy conflict between Turkey and Qatari on the Misrata/Islamist side and Egypt/UAE/Saudi/and the West on the Zintani/Haftar Side... Read the article from ABC here. Also there was a good article about why the USA should be wary of Haftar in today's INYT by Ibrahim Sharqieh of Brookings... I 100% agree with the piece and its meta-message about US policy towards hiftar is 100% correct.. I just have an issue about the use of the word civil war... we are not experiencing and are not going to see a civil war in Libya.. using that word 'civil war' gets US audiences all up in arms and confused so I think it is risky to refer to what is happening or might happen there as a civil war. But Sharqieh knows his stuff so he no doubt has his reasons.
