Turkey backed forces cleaned Al-Watiya airbase from LNA !
When do you guys see this Civil War coming to an end? And Is hafter in lybia?
The war is far from over in Libya. at the moment, GNA (Turkey's ally) does not have the capability or resources to capture the entirety of Libya. The war is basically a stalemate with a little advantage to GNA in the Tripoli region. Haftar is in Bengazi, 1000 km from the current hotspots.
Can't turkey just conduct airstrikes on Ben ghazi on the request of the legit libyan state council?
Turkey could do that, and indeed, they recently simulated such an attack with AWACS, 3 tankers and a dozen F-16s. However, such an escalation could lead to Egypt stepping in militarily. If they do so, Libya will effectively be split between west and east.
There are reports regarding Turkey intending to send F-16s to Al-Watiya airbase once it is captured and repaired. This deployment will be limited to supporting GNA in west Libya, thus reducing the likelihood of Egyptian intervention.
Do you think the Egyptians can directly take on the Turkish military and u.n recognized gna?
Turkey without any doubt is a stronger military power than Egypt, but the problem is power projection. Turkey cannot project its power in a meaningful way to deter Egypt in Libya. Egypt simply has the proximity advantage, while Turkey's supply lines are long and extremely exposed to interruption. Neither of the parties wants a direct conflict in Libya, so they will accept the situation on the ground as long as their red lines are not crossed. Turkey's red line is Tripoli and Misrata. Egypt's red line is Benghazi and eastern Libya.
The problem is also that LNA has the support of significantly more countries than GNA. For example, GNA is only supported by Turkey while Italy and the US provide "verbal" support. LNA is supported by Israel, UAE, Egypt, Russia etc. and they all are somehow directly involved.
LNA commander of Watiyah air base was killed by a TB-2 drone strike

Gna needs to capture all the oil fields central, east and west of libyaGood riddance!
Tribes have started shifted their allegiances to GNA. So once the government victory in the West is finally secured, the tribes in the East will gradually shift allegiances hopefully. The Emariati money can only go so far. Keep in mind most of the population centers are on the Western side of Libya.
Having the Egyptian soldiers is a good omen!! It means the total failure is nearby....Haftar is still losing with the help from other Arab dictator states.

HARAM IN, HARAM OUT...Good riddance!

No, it's Allah-u Azimushshan with HIS INFINTE GRACE upon the Turkish folks - be it Alparslan, Aybek, Selchuks, Ottomans or some other regimes...Qatar can bank role any Turkish battle in lybia?
It's not important to be powerful, it's important to be right....Turkey without any doubt is a stronger military power than Egypt, but the problem is power projection.
