A militia loyal to the unity government attacked an airbase controlled by Khalifa Haftar's forces, according to reports

At least 141 people, mostly soldiers loyal to Libya's Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, have been killed in an attack on a southern airbase, a spokesman for his forces said on Friday.

Reports suggest the Third Force militia, which is loyal to the UN-backed Government of National Accord in Tripoli on Thursday attacked the base used by Haftar's self-proclaimed Libyan National Army (LNA).

LNA spokesman Ahmad al-Mesmari on Friday said the victims included civilians who worked at the Brak al-Shati airbase or were in the nearby area. He also reported that summary executions took place.

"The soldiers were returning from a military parade. They weren't armed. Most of them were executed," he said.

This was a bad situation, who did the killing from the story, was a militia loyal to the "UN-backed Government". So, we know what that means, sort of the people we helped put in power but not only that, this Khalifa Haftar seems to be the Russian-backed forces there. Just look up Khalifa Haftar and Russia, so, this becomes even a bit more of a heated situation. Criticized by Egypt. I'm not even sure if it was a battle, mainly just an attack and executions.

More results from “The Arab Spring”.

So which side is the good guys?

[soycd]

Which side does not follow the evil of islam? If all sides dabble in the cult of islam then hope for mutual annihilation.

[RockyTx]

is there any downside to this event?

[BlackVeil]

Terrible events. All part of the *successful intervention* in Libya.

[Eurotwit]

Blame US.

Who kept supporting this silly war.

And, then?

Maybe admit that the Vietnam was also was a clusterff.

It’s hard to control the world.

We cannot.

Only thing I believe in is love and truth. That is God.

A LOOK AT THE LIBYA OBAMA DESTROYED

Qaddafi was not our friend and killed some Americans. However, as shown below, contrary to Obama, he had a caring side for his populace. Are these valid causes for his elimination by Western countries…at the insistence of Obama, who was removing him for the Moslem Brotherhood since Ghaddafi was not their friend either and stood in the way of Obama’s and their Moslem Caliphate project. Even if it takes the rivers of blood in which Obama is awash as the instigator. He wields the bloodied knife and we blame the knife instead of him? Sad and naive.

Libya & QADDAFI ...FACTS THAT CANNOT BE DENIED

1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.

2. There is no interest on loans. Banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.

3. A home is considered a human right in Libya – Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father has died while he, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent.

(Very different from Obama’s brother still living in a Kenyan slum on LESS than $20 A YEAR! Millionaire Obama is happy to share the wealth and spend YOUR money but not to help out his own brother with a few bucks from his pocket. Still has not figured out how to add the brother to American public housing as he has with his aunt Zieitooni)

4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000 ) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.

5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%.

6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick- start their farms – all for free.

7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US $2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance.

8. In Libya, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price.

9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0. 14 per liter under 60 cents a gallon.

10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally.

11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.

12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.

13. A mother who gives birth to a child received US $5 ,000

14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15

15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree

16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.

Bad, bad, monster! Obama knows best. Kill, kill, kill Ghaddafi and his family! So my Moslem Brotherhood friends can prosper and receive the money confiscated from Libya to increase their power in Libya, Egypt, Tunis and Saudi Arabia. (Yes, there, too).

Wow.

[xrmusn]

All I can be sure of is that somehow the firing of Comey, FLOTUS didn’t dress appropriately and ‘The Donald’ not only shunned T Keith BUT he ‘kidnapped’ the ‘El Presidente`’ of Saudi Arabia so it is definitely Trumps fault.....

“So which side is the good guys?”

I think the guys that attacked the base are. Unless you don’t get around to reading this until Sunday - then it was the guys on the base.

Libya is really messed up - I can’t even tell if we are on the same side as the Russians! (I’m not sure the U.S. and Russians know either.) I guess we’ll find out when the Russians kill some of our guys, or vice-versa.

Best case scenario would be for Egypt to invade and occupy Libya.
