Libya: Al Sarraj loses pieces and Haftar becomes stronger

At the Sarraj in the night he loses four ministers and so Khalifa Haftar becomes stronger and stronger. The Treasury Minister, Fakher Boufarna; of Justice, Jumua Al Darsi; of National Reconciliation, Ab-del Jawad Al Obeidi, and Economy and Industry, Abdel Matlub Boufarua resigned polemically.

Al Sarraj and his government, never accepted by the Libyan people and strongly imposed following the agreements reached by the UN, will now have to face the complicated Libyan political scenario and propose four new ministers.

The "premier" had arrived by sea, almost as if he were a refugee, trying in every way to be accepted by the people (and their ministers). He failed, despite having extraordinary media coverage.

The games are still open: Khalifa Haftar he is showing an unsuspected dynamism for his age and continues the work of persuasion on the people and on foreign leaders. Some rumors would give the general as "untrustworthy", but the fact that he has proven to have resisted so long under embargo, that he is loved by vast strata of the people, and that he is able to get received by both Moscow and Washington means that he more shrewd than you can imagine.
