Khalifa Haftar
Khalifa Haftar is a Libyan military officer and the commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), which has played a significant role in the ongoing Libyan civil conflict. Born in 1943, Haftar has been a controversial figure, known for his efforts to consolidate power in eastern Libya and his alliances with foreign military powers, including Russia. His leadership has been marked by attempts to capture the capital, Tripoli, and to establish a government aligned with his vision of a unified Libya. Recently, he has garnered attention due to the continued support he receives from Russia, particularly in the wake of changing geopolitical dynamics following the Syrian conflict.
