December 28, 2020 Share Libya has been roiled by division and conflict, since the overthrow of former dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, in 2011. The internationally-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) and Haftar’s self-described Libyan National Army (LNA) militias are the two major warring factions in Libya. Based in the capital city of Tripoli, the GNA is led by Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj and controls parts of the country’s west. The Benghazi-based Libya National Army (LNA), a force of some twenty-five thousand fighters, is led by Khalifa Haftar, a former General. Turkey joined the Libyan war officially in January 2020. On January 2, 2020, Turkish Parliament passes a bill that approved a one-year mandate to deploy troops in support of the Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj led recognised Government of GNA.
