Libya: GNA Rejects National Army’s Ramadan Truce
Arab World
Asharq Al-Awsat
The Government of National Accord (GNA) head by Fayez al-Sarraj said on Thursday that its forces would keep fighting after a unilateral ceasefire declaration by Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA). "We confirm our fixed position that we will continue with our legitimate self-defense and strike the source of threat wherever it is," the GNA said in a statement. It said it did not trust the LNA after previous failed ceasefires. LNA spokesman Ahmed al-Mismari said late on Wednesday that the Army was adopting a ceasefire during Ramadan in response to requests by the international community and "friendly countries". Mismari warned violations by the GNA would be met with an "immediate and harsh response."
