- There’s an intense battle for Libya’s capital Tripoli that’s killed more than 200 civilians and displaced thousands of people.
The offensive is being led by a renegade general named Khalifa Haftar who’s fighting militias loyal to the UN-recognised Government of National Accord.
But who is Haftar, which countries support him and which world powers back the GNA?
Start Here explains what’s behind the fight for Libya and why the international community has struggled to stop it.

I still remember Libya was one of the richest countries per capita
Yeah... its sad to see what has happened to a great country...
@@imgonnamakeanewyt7431 That is why you dont give up your weapons to the US.
It wasn’t....
Assad isn't gone. That won't happen any time soon.
@@scarybird977 It was.
The key point is Haftar lived in the U.S. for 20 years and became an American citizen..that pretty much sums everything up..
The question is, does Haftar have the backing, overt or covert, of the US? Also Libya is not in danger of becoming a second Syria, Syria has become a second Libya... or maybe they have become second and third Somalias.
It would figure. Soon the US will use Russians as proxy fighters the way the Soviets used Cubans in the 1970's.
And if everyone accepted that there would have been less bloodshed and the country will start rebuilding quicker and welcomed to the civilized world...
And how exactly does that sum of everything?
@@kingofcherries4357 He is basically one of those guys who screams "evil USA is responsible!" everytime a rat farts in the middle east or anywhere else in the world for the matter..
Killing Gaddafi was like jumping from the flying pan to the fire
Most Libyans would agree with that description
What do you know about Islam? you Zionist.
@@hanifaali9526 He didn't speak anything against Islam here brother. Don't drag religious topics without understanding what the person is talking about.
Libyans were the ones who killed him so....
@@suraiyameem2181 dont worry him. so many people are like that. Just out of topic and commenting utter nonsense and vomiting hatred while trying to judge others.
Libya is now "McDonald's" for oil hungry nations!
That's absolutely right ..... 😂
yep
Killing Gadhafi was a mistake of all decades😠,even the bride can see,so bad what the common man will have to go through 😢😥😥😢😫😫
My Allah give peace in Libya and all Muslim countries iam from Somalia
barqab laabsalax was your prophet muhammad a pedophile
No, I think Allah wants to see you fighting...
@barqabLaabsalax now Al-Shabab what do in Somalia....... Worlds peaceful countries
@Islamist Reactionary إرتجاج الإسلامي Islam is a real Kuffaar in the world ............ It's ruling by clergies, mulla and Stupid dictators.....
Why only all muslim countries and not the whole world, irrespective of religion
So let me get this straight. For all those years Gadafi ruled, he made all those groups in Libya fight amonst each other, yet during his time served, Libya had the 5th highest gdp per capita in Africa, supported pan africanism, black civil rights, Libya consistently ranked at the top of african countries regarding HDI and standards of living, and significantly improved Libyas quality of life. Up until the late 2010s, Libya had a very high literacy rate and a very high life expectancy. By the time Gadafi died, Libya had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy in the african continent and fewer people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands. Gadafi may have played the tribes towards one another, by statistrics definitely disprove that. According to NATO, overthrowing Gadafi had less to do with the citizens of Libya but rather the destabilization of the middle east. Even during the war, there are videos showing gadafi waving to his people in his car, claiming libyans loved him, which they did for all the good he has done to them.
"fewer people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands" That is only possible if you change definition of what constitutes poverty line like China did. By European standards that statement is false.
@@mdjey2 you don't need standard. you can just survey people if they feel like they're below the poverty line.
even if by european standard, a libyan is considered poor, he is not poor if he argues that he can eat anything he wants for a day and can drink plenty of water and can buy almost anything he needs and can travel to places. if the european standard says that he must make 100 euros per month regardless of conditions, then that's bullshit and that's probably the reason why countries that don't really have serious poverty rate have serious poverty rates according to europe
Love for telling the truth
😊ok😊😊oo😊l
Lj.😊😊
The beautiful country turned into a battlefield, due to recklessness action of the West from Iraq to Libya. Now, look at them scratching their heads don't know what to do.
@@moradrad4491 before you post something on social media you make sure that you read it please. If not you are going to put yourself in that bracket of low IQ people. Thanks for your time.
@@moradrad4491 Stop pointing fingers, they speak another language that is a plus. Be considerate!
@@moradrad4491 They should leave him alone period. The country is now a bloodbath country. Attacking Gaddafi is creating more problems.
Al Jazeera and Qatar pushed those t r r sts to overthrow their leader and allow Americans to steal their oil. Now Russia is trying to stop Qatar and the West by supporting Haftar the savior of Libya.
For them is a mission completed, its not like they didn’t know whats will happen when you over thrown gadaffi
This is the only Al Jazeera's show that I watch
For now
No peace, becoz of oil🛢️😢
No peace because the people fighting a very slow in the head
Classic USA and Europa
Norway has oil, UK has oil,
This young lady presents the facts very well. Qaddafi was not as bad as some make him out to have been. It was proven that it was not his regime that downed the passenger jet over Scotland, and he also gave up his nuclear weapons ambitions.
So why in 2011 did the west back the rebels against the legitimate government if Libya? Why did they make a mess in Benghazi, kill Qaddafi and steal the majority of their known gold?
My thoughts are that Qaddafi was planning to start a sovereign gold backed currency in Libya then all of North Africa, and finally throughout the rest of Africa. This currency would have been free of the World Bank stranglehold. The west had to obey their masters and destroy Libya. The lender is the master and the slave is always the borrower.
I'm Libyan i lived most my life in there between both sides east and the west and I'm telling you people in the comments who think they know everything just from watching a couple of videos or watching the news the situation in Libya is much more complicated then you think
Why libiyan killed Gaddafi?
@@leoulouchlamperz1055
We didn't, the NATO Killed Gadhafi.
I am preparing for my exam.. I want to know everything about Libya especially America and West role.. So i can support my arguments but unfortunately no one is showing the reality....
shutup
One of the best programs ever 💕💕 cover almost all the mains in an effective way
O:54 makes explains a lot. Hope Libya finds peace one day 🇱🇾 👏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Thank you bro thank you so much but now we don’t have a war Al Hamdullah everything is so good these days in Libya but still Libyan people are suffering some of them. They don’t have houses apartments or money to spend their lives so that’s why many libyan are suffering but it’s OK better than nothing also, we don’t have a war that’s the point since 2020 cease fire has been agreed in libya through kalifa hafter after long time so we are good in our country look as i’m libyan we had a war of course but we still love our country we still do everything about our country we spend our lives in libya we had a life and we are still happy and we enjoy every moment in libya anyways thank u so much for the wishing us love you from Libya🇱🇾❤️
Al Jazeera explaining “objectively” what is going on in Libya. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's understandable they are funded by Qatari govt so I don't know how much of this actually is true.
this was so helpful! i have to write an essay for school about this and every other video was so confusing
Man I am very sad that the only thing they learn about Libya is war and conflicts , hope your essay wasn't like that
This is such a great program...so many Important relevant information in only 6 minutes.
Sure Oil is important but for Turkey its more ideological the Arab and the Muslim world dont need more Puppets like Haftar or Sisi they need the rule of the people may Libya rise.
Rest in peace Gaddafi 🙅🏿♂️🇸🇳🇸🇳🙏🙅🏿♂️
imo this is the natural way of a nation breaking away from authoritarianism to democracy
syria iraq and now lybia, will all go through it and come out better
Haftar is using Janjaweed fighters who committed atrocities in Darfur, paid for by the UAE. On top of using Wahhabi Madkhali fighters from saudi who are going around and demolishing Sufi shrines and other stuff..
May Allah finish off this wahabi najdi demons group from face of Earth as quickly as possible, Amen.
That’s bullshit man
Thank you for explaining so clearly.
thanks Sandra..good work as always..

Good update. Ty
add a Map for us to quickly imagine where and how big the scale of things going on. I'm impressed with your work
Will, basically LNA controls 80% of the country and 41 out of 49 major cities in the country, however the Vast population in Libya live in those 8 cities that the GNA controls and roughly 2 million people live in the most important city which is Tripoli.
And for what's happening with the war right now.
it isn't just about taking Tripoli, Tripoli may seem like the main target at the moment which is mainly true but it's also about taking all of the remaining cities one by one by making the war zone in one place and making the Enemy gather his forces in one place.
You may ask how is this gonna work.
Ok you need to understand that the militias ruling tripoli aren't just the ones in it, for example misrata's militias can't let Tripoli fall to Hafter because then they will no longer have the ability to control the main bank, the oil and gas facilities and that's what they're trying to protect throughout the war besides fighting a war for Turkish agendas.
okay, now let's talk what's happening on ground at the moment and whose winning, will obviously the LNA are winning with their attrition strategy killing about 1500 members of the militias and more than 7000 being injured and moving forward being only 6 kilometres away of the central of Capital, which made the GNA seek help from Turkey by bringing more mercenaries from Syria which is a very dumb move on so many levels, but again that's how desperate they are
if isn't for the fragile truce since January 12th the war would have ended right now.
I'm writing this at 2:20AM in my bed in Tripoli while a mortar 1 kilometre away from my house is being fired south and over my head :)
I’ve been saying it for years. Al Jazeera is the greatest media outlet
The class is in session with miss Sandra Gathmann I like her calming
voice and the way she explains things in a lovely way
how is that a "national accord" if it doesn't have an accord with "the house of representatives" ? :]
And irony is, that despite US sponsored terror and war, Libya still has an envious per capita both in nominal and PPP. Imagine what it'd have been before the US inflicted this war.
I agree all of this was because of gaddafi's death, and I remind you that aljazira was pushing for toppling gadafi in 2011
A dictator is never the solution because they don't last forever...Libyans need to fight now; later they'll get tired of it and try form a stable democratic govt (oil needs to dry up in value for that)..
@@ameyas7726 I agree but it was foreign intervention that destroyed the lybian revolution, I have seen many revolutions even in my coutry and never does one succeed if there is foreign intervention
@@destroctiveblade843 Yeah currently Turkey, Russia, France, Egypt, Arabs etc all are trying to take control of Libyan oil...which is why I said, oil needs to dry up in value because it is a curse to Libya...and Libyan people needs to stop saying "religion is law", when power is handed to them, otherwise democracy fails and only a dictator can provide some stability and peace in the region..
@@ameyas7726 oil has been a curse to most countries that have it, and I believe lybia has had two elections, in the first the muslim brootherhood won a majority but in the second they did not, the schism between those two parlements is the cause of what's happening today.
Killing Gadafi and the imperialistic tendency of the west towards Libya's oil caused this problem!
Very informative.
Solution is simple: Non-interference.
Not a single worldpower or nation would ever stop interfering in Libya.
Libya is where the oil is and it is the gate of Africa preventing economic migrants from going to Europe.
Simple solution is for the U.S to purge the Zionist infiltrators from it's government and rebuild Libya with an actual constitution.
Push Russian Mercenaries out of Libya
Too late for no intervention. Libya no longer belongs to Libyans
Awesome reporting
I'd like to see you do a report on what has happened to the children in Syria. (DH, Oklahoma City, Feb 23, 2020)
Arms Embargoes were imposed on the Waring factions in the former Yugoslavia. Weapons are like drugs in a war. No way you can stop their inflow. Hint: Egypt's military industry thrives on this conflict
An intense battle is for all consolidation of power, dominance, and influence.
because Libya is very rich in material as well as mineral resources and each country is trying to exploit it tremendously.
You are realy genious & gifted
I have a feeling and evidence that this is the way all nations are going to be in the future.
Thanks 🙏 once again Sandra for this well analysis of Libya 🇱🇾 situation..
Haftar has a cool name to be a dictator.supreme leader Khalifa haftar sounds good
The last time you Westerners called someone dictator , millions of Syrian migrants invaded your countries. Do you really want to repeat the same mistake?
This time that won’t happen because haftar is not strong like Assad and turkey will kill haftar before too much damage can happen
President Prime Minister Admiral General Haftar!
This is an interesting conflict. Alies are enemies & Enemies are allies. Meanwhile were is the US? I am interested to see how this conflict unfolds.
So confusing.
One thing I can say about General Haftar, he is a Game of Thrones badass with a history to back it up. This guy was part of the coup that Colonel Gaddafi lead and became Dictator. Betrayed by Gaddafi in the failed war with Chad, captured and forgotten (grew a hatred for Gaddafi from said betrayal). Brought to the US by the CIA to lead an anti-Gaddafi rebellion. Fought a unsuccessful rebellion against the Lybian regime. Was in the Israeli-Lebenon war and after that became a US citizen (he is a dual citizen of US and Lybia). Lived in the United States for 20 years next to Langley. Fought in the 2011 Lybian civil war and is now the leader of the LNA involved in a second civil war. I want to read this guy's bibliography and continue watching him to see what else he does in his life.
Top journalism 👏
I think somalia is good story to tell. On a year base 500 million of dollars of worth of fish is stolen!!
No one cares about somalia no statistics and governance.
@@MaddoxKillgore Not true. A lot of people are happy to know what is going on in different places. After reading the comment above, I am curious to find out more.
Libya is not alone...
00:46 guy states Gaddafi's strategy was playing tribes against each other. Lady the says with Gaddafi gone these "tribes and militia who fought to overthrow Gadaffi now fought each other" ....but weren't they already fighting each other, according to the first shill?
Man I cant believe Lybia was once the wealthiest country in the world with Muammar Gaddafi, but looking at the situation in the country now makes me really sad 😭😭
"my truck is loaded" is apparently far from reality
War it's very dangerous.
But love it's peaceful.
✌
Iran should learn from Libyan fate if they are thinking US freedom
I LOVE IN LIBYA BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
@sam what the heck are u talking about :-:
@@moradrad4491
I am from Libya and your mother can confirm that I am not gay.
Please try to add this in written form as well.
At least it will take 3-5 years to end this war
Mash Allah you are telling real truth... Hands-off al Jazeera.. We support truth...
Yemen next?
May God help Libya
Please add english subtitles too...
3:44 What an odd place to see a Tony Gonzalez jersey.
Plz with English subtitles
Do not kill your lion (Gaddafi) or else the dogs of the next jungle will kill your peace.
Time PROVED Gaddafi was good for libya
can you cover up about what is going on in abyie sudan south sudan disputed area?
can you talk about whats going on in Afghanistan
is no one talking about how france and italy are on opposing sides?
GOD be keep be love innocent Libyans people,
Donc les titres sont en français mais y a pas de sous titres en Français ... va comprendre.
Did Erdogan said " the Turkish- Libyan borders"??? Libya has no borders with Turkey. Not in land, nor in sea. Wtf?
are you really
Maritime borders. Turkey and Libys have signed a treaty defining their maritime borders.
Another "unbiased" Aljazera video...
What is the current condition in ther?
What a beauty
Guys maybe you should rethink cheerful clapping music at the beginning of a video about a devastating war.
US assasinated Gaddafi & left Libya in chaos
🍔 I think the general thanks of the UN as imperialistic sheep and wolves clothing but on the other hand Libya has bad history with generals being in power but the general did live in the u.s. for 20 years so I'm on the fence on this subject
I’m from Libya 🇱🇾
Who financed Hafter? How did he get so many weapons and fighters so fast? How did he make so many contacts after being in the USA four 20 years?
wtf is is just me or that intro looked like Grammarly ad?
Once Gaddafi died it all went downhill
It's not Libiyan peoples destination.... But this is for the Power and economy
U.A.E seems very militarily adventurous...involved in Yemen, Somali, and Libya
@Emre Al - they basically stole a strategic sea port in North Somali, made a deal with a war lord and bypassed the official government of somali.
Russia always announces whom it's supporting, so why you say Russia is supporting Haftar ?
Proof ?
1:07 look at those buildings. Crumbling under the weight of all that US democracy and freedom.
We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯

I see a lot of people blaming the US and European countries but don't forget israel. The more countries fighting each other in the Middle East the more they benefit.
Well Israel didn't bomb Libya, Americans and Europeans did and they created death, destruction and anarchy.
@@SerTempleton They actively lobbied for it though
4 months later turkey is game changer

Honestly I don't know what is going to happen if Libya wants peace they need stable democracy and not warmongering, but I don't know how that will work when there are outside forces fighting over the country. I pray for peace and for the safety of the people.
second syria, really? i think russia prevented syria become second libya...
They saw that & put a stop too it. Syria is a Ally of Russia
Notice how all the armed vehicles are Toyotas
Wao what a peacefull libya
Libyan people do not divide into tribes please,This is your weakness, If you do so, you will be divided and it will weaken you against the infidels who are your enemies. Be united and hold tight to the rope of Allah.Salvation is in this.
I hear Russian Snipers make havoc on GNA combatants
why is italy and France supporting different sides?
Then the Turkish Drones arrived :D
if moammar ghadafi still alive today, it might be more richer than qatar
Am missing gaddafi
We need an update ma’am… syria too
UN recognised government is the legitimate government of Libya .
Public Demand..... Allah bless you
Keep America out of this fight.
