Libyan eastern commander Khalifa Haftar, speaking on Wednesday with French President Emmanuel Macron, ruled out a ceasefire and said he wanted to rid the capital of militias that had "infested" the UN-backed government, a French presidential official said.
The LNA is now bogged down in southern suburbs by fighters loyal to Prime Minister Fayez al Serraj's Government of National Accord .Macron and French officials have for weeks repeated their official support for the GNA and have called for an unconditional ceasefire. But some European countries, including France, have also supported Haftar as a way to fight militants in the country.
"When the question of the ceasefire was put on the table, Haftar's reaction to this was to ask: "negotiate with whom for a ceasefire today?" the official said. "He considers that the GNA is completely infested by militias and it is not for him to negotiate with representatives of these militias," the official said.The official said Macron had asked Haftar to make a public step towards a ceasefire and Haftar responded by saying that an inclusive political dialogue was necessary and he would be ready for it if the conditions for a ceasefire were in place.
