Libya crisis: PM Fayez al-Serraj condemns ‘silence’ of allies
He said failure to support his internationally recognised government could"lead to other consequences", citing the risk of the Islamic State group capitalising on the instability.
"The Russians won't accept mentioning Haftar's name even though everyone knows he is the one behind this," he said. The latest crisis started three weeks ago, when Gen Haftar's eastern forces descended on the capital in what Mr Serraj has described as an attempted coup. On Thursday, his administration accused France of supporting Gen Haftar, saying it would sever any"bilateral security agreements" with Paris as a result.
