General Khalifah Hafter has come down against the Political Accord which he said favoured those who backed terrorism in Libya.

Though the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan armed forces made a point of declaring his loyalty to the House of Representatives, he warned in a statement today, that his hands would “not be tied if the HoR goes too far, under Western dictation and foreign pressure on its president and other members and yields to form a government which calls itself the Accord, but in fact is biased toward the supporters of terrorism in Libya”.

He said that the army had to go after every nest of terrorism in every corner of Libya. “We will not rest until the security of our injured country is restored”.

Hafter also asserted that Russia and other friendly states have promised him “collaboration against terrorism” and help in forming a national army which would be capable of tackling the challenges and threats facing Libya.
