[quote:Anonymous Coward 74408017:MV8zMDUxNjUyXzYyODI1MTUzXzQ1M0IxMDQw] [b][i]Boris Johnson throws weight behind Libya peace process[/i][/b] 5/4/17 [i]The Foreign Office kept the Johnson trip under wraps due to the military instability in Tripoli, including recent kidnappings and firefights. Johnson also met Abdurrahman Swehli, the president of Libya’s high state council, an advisory body opposed to Haftar. The UK has been supportive of the UN-backed Serraj government, [b]but has recently accepted that the political agreement signed in December 2015 needs revision and Haftar needs to be given a greater role, so long as he is under some form of political control[/b].[/i] ***[i]This article has been amended to make clear Boris Johnson only met Fayez al-Serraj, and not Khalifa Haftar.[/i] https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/04/boris-johnson-libya-peace-process-tripoli [/quote]
Original Message
In 2011, during the 'Arab Spring', NATO forces and western-backed militias brought down the government of Muammar Gaddafi, leader of Libya.
This thread is about the aftermath of that action.
