He was met by KGB head Tsertsel.
Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army Khalifa Belkasim Haftar arrived in Minsk on 17 February, BelTA informs. He was met at the airport by KGB chairman Ivan Tsertsel.
It also became known from the press service of the Libyan National Army that Khalifa Haftar is accompanied by his son, Lieutenant General Sadam Haftar, Chief of Staff of the Army, head of the office of Khalifa Haftar, Lieutenant General Ayoub Bousseif and Major General Basim al-Buayshi.
Libya is now in the middle of a civil war and the central government in Tripoli does not control most of the country. The uncontrolled territory is ruled by the Libyan National Army led by Khalifa Haftar, so he is not just a warlord, but the de facto ruler of the territory.
Haftar has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and it is to Libya, to the territory under his control, that troops are being transferred from military bases in Syria, which became not very cosy after Bashar al-Assad's regime was overthrown at the end of last year.
