TRIPOLI: Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar, who launched an offensive against Tripoli last month, has urged his troops to teach unity government forces an"even harder lesson", as the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan begins.

"Officers and soldiers of our armed forces and affiliates, I greet you during these glorious days and call on you to inflict on the enemy, with your force and determination, an even harder and bigger lesson than before", Haftar wrote in a message read out by LNA spokesman General Ahmad al-Mesmari. "Respect the lives of citizens and their goods," the message added."Carry out the orders of this letter and those of your superiors."

But after Haftar launched his offensive, 42 of its 188 deputies decided to boycott parliamentary activity in protest at his military campaign and Salah's ongoing support for Haftar.
