A US court delays the prosecution of warlord Khalifa Haftar, citing the December 24 elections in Libya. Critics say Washington is using Haftar as a pawn in the regional power game.
A few days ago, a US federal judge Leonie Brinkema pronounced a judgment, ceasing several civil lawsuits against warlord Khalifa Haftar until the end of the December 24 elections in Libya. by Essam Amish, who heads a think-tank named the Libyan-American coalition.
For regional experts, the US is working behind the scenes to normalise Haftar's participation in the December 24 elections as a presidential candidate and the court's decision is in line with that policy rather than supporting a fair and democratic transition in the war-affected country. On the other hand, warlord Haftar’s son, Saddam visited Israel on Monday, seeking political and military support from Israel.
“The US keeps Haftar's chances alive because nobody is more inclined to serve Washington than its own citizen, but let's not forget that Haftar himself said time and time again that Libya isn't ready for elections and democracy and that he won't accept the results of any elections if his opponents win!”
