Musical Ministers of Defense

[edit]

According to the National Transitional Council Haftar was replaced by his subbordinate Abdul Fatah Younis again on April 1, after replacing Younis in late March. Don't have time to check refs today, and this is far enough aside the main topic of interest that I might forget about it.Bahb the Illuminated (talk) 20:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haftar's place of birth

[edit]

I have re-inserted editor: Sksgdlhk's "Ajdabiya" as Haftar's birthplace, as the old Al Jazeera interview with Haftar from 2011 that lists Ajdabiya as his birthplace seems to me to be the most reliable, despite conflicting alternate locations listed in other more recent articles. I say this because I feel that it is a very reasonable bet that the Al Jazeera reporter most probably had the opportuntity to actually get this info directly from Haftar in the course of her interview with Haftar. None of the other sources were in the context of an actual interview.Scott P. (talk) 01:33, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

questions?

[edit]

Very close to the end there is a sentence that Haftar is deliberately delaying the war. This is an unusual sentence.

Zaire is mentioned but it should have "now Congo again" in brackets. Interestingly that was the time when Paul Manafort (Republican lobbyist) was working for Mobutu.

Haftar's life story would make a fascinating TV series if it could be done unbiased. 2001:8003:A928:800:E59B:5FC4:9989:79B6 (talk) 05:04, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Hifter"?

[edit]

The Washington Post translates his name in a recent article with "Khalifa Hifter". [1] Do we have rules for such conflicts? Alexpl (talk) 09:07, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering the same thing after I noticed that CNBC kept switching back and forth between the two spellings in this article: [2] 68.142.180.84 (talk) 12:18, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ON haftar's second 'nationality'

[edit]

I dont think a website news link is enough as a source to state that haftar is a Libyan - ( American ) national. Times.com is not a valid source of information to support the claim. Can @Shadow4dark: provide better source or remove the stated nationality. Thanks.

The new York Times is a reliable source. Wich sources do you want?Shadow4dark (talk) 02:57, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Death

Haftar loyalist commander and war criminal Mahmoud al-Werfalli has been killed according to sources familiar with him. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/24/libyan-commander-wanted-for-war-crimes-by-icc-gunned-down — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:4B00:47D0:6DC8:ADB9:C93E:7B44 (talk) 04:52, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
