600 is far too high; they are likely in the range of 200-300 SNA dead, 200-300 SNA fleeing directly to Europe through ferries in Tripoli/Misurata. Of the deployed factions in Libya, HTS is following orders more closely than many of the Turkish-created factions

>HTS is following orders more closely than many of the Turkish-created factions
I think the reason behind it is that they are getting paid because turks have less control over them than their own creations. Turks are afraid that if they don't pay them shit might hit the fan, but with SNA apes they have ways to keep them in line even if they refuse to pay them.

LNA Mi-35 over the Libyan coast

It's clear Zurfi's history indicated a crack down on the resistance factions was coming; but when Corona-chan happened instead the US forces started shrinking instead. It's still likely that Iraqi CTS will be used against KH/Usbat al-Thairen, but under these circumstances no one wants to take military operations during an anti-viral quarantine. Zurfi can now have more freedom to act independently to both contain the virus, contain the US, and contain the resistance factions. Reducing the myriad political influences within the army factions is doubtless a major goal for him. Though people want more combativeness from Sistani, it's just not in his nature - but the militias raised in his name need their own voice too. A gap between the two could be exploited by a military leader simply.

AQ has always billed itself as something of the antifa wing of Ikhwanis; there's a good likelihood that even without the Turks they would have had members in Libya; but with the Turks they are able to move their weathered staff from Idlib to the front, and get paid lira/citizenship for surviving a year doing it. The two organizations, TAF and HTS, are preserving the ikhwani power structures just as they've done in Syria, and these two will surely not be the last theatre they try it in.

this.
zurfi was obviously the best choice, he has tweeted recently a vid of himself signing papers and saying #Iraq_first which i think represents his will of reducing that influence, for who? why? how? i have no idea, but i don't think sisstani would give that much of a fuck, the guy seeks for peace and you can take his announcements calling the security forces to protect the protest as a proof.
I'm really hyped for zurfi, he might be a main character in the middle east shitshow soon.

Checked

It's especially telling that Usbat al Thairen, for all the talk, is still divided into Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada, Kata’ib al-Imam Ali, Harakat al-Awfiy’a, Saraya Ashura, Harakat Jund al-Imam, and Saraya al-Khurasani. They have the same problem the Iraqi Army does; easy to raise an army, difficult to ever remove a commander. Even among all of these, there are not many leaders, no real 'Sadr'. Even with the Fatah coalition, it is subdivided. Though Abu Azrael is in the Imam Ali brigades.

Hmmm... I don't see Houthis successfully approach Marib without all land in the north and west of Marib gets liberated. Also people call this a siege when Houthis havent even approached Marib from one side.

>all of these militias mentioned nearly share the same ideology still they are devided, fatah is corrupt as hell which will cause of them to whether end up miserably or unite with Bina' coalition
All this because Maliki could not make a solid political foundation through State of Law; and was further undermined by Obama, leading to increased division from leaderless groups.

>abd alwahaab alsaidi, hadi al amri, even muqtada might be taken as an option.
abu azrael is literally a sadrist so that would work, though i think muqtada enjoys speaking of responsibilities as much as he likes avoiding assuming any major position himself. amri would also work, but not without finishing badr's confrontation with the other factions. Abd al Wahaab al Saidi would be ironic, considering he was pushed as deputy of Iraqi CTS by its commander on the left, Talib Shaghati, who just reeks of glowie, and Iraqi CTS seems to clash with PMUs the most - by design, likely, as they are foreign trained, and the PMUs are wholly Iraqi-borne.
>i can accept whatever comes with open hands, i just don't want them to disband the PMU, few people might be realizing it but we need for the balance of this country militarily.
I think the resistance factions see this, and that is the point some are making by leaving the PMUs to join Ausbat al Thairen. The People's Mobilization Units are a pillar of Iraq itself, militias raised to defend the capital, and their opposition - IS - is not gone, but only dormant. Now there is new additional opposition. Doubtless some future coupist in Iraq will descend from Iraqi CTS.

Qamishli is like DeZ surrounded by hordes, and just as before the hordes are not superior.

It's more of an approaching salient. Saudi air power in the region is considerable; the Houthi are likely prioritizing the highland regions - but outside of those highland regions, will find it difficult to take land. The clash on Mount Hailan favors them - the lands beyond it, free of cover and concealment, do not

Sooner or later they will clash, and sooner or later Turkey will bomb them(kurds).

desu, Houthis should just do lowland and dessert tactics that ISIS did with fast and mobile infantry shock attacks.

Like Germany, they are trying to carve out spheres of influence for future maps, and most immediately are probably trying to prevent anyone seeing those oil wells or displacing them from it

All Haftar has to do is decide if he wants to run in the presidential election after Tripoli victory. If he does, he is likely to win; but he has given hints at being more interested in a ministry of defense role. His commander, Abdul Fatah Younis, was assassinated for making contact with Saif Al Islam at the close of the conflict - if Saif al Islam returns to power, the Libyan National Army will be an institution uniquely designed to destroy any future attempts of 'Libyan Revolution' - even the culture of the revolution in Tripoli is under siege, and I think the two, Saif with Haftar's LNA, could lead Libya very strongly in the international sphere.

They are doing something like this in Saudi Arabia; the fast moving RPG-Sniper units backed by Tochkas. The Fateer-1 can make 1-2 Saudi planes withdraw, but on a front like this they are dealing with whole wings. However, if Hadi keeps up these war of attrition tactics in the highlands, he's going to run out of Islah members. Once they're gone, Zubaidi is in control of the South and Socotra

It'd be such a cock slap to the face of NATO and Qatar if Gaddafi manages to claw back power at the end of this, and I really hope it happens, it'd be a story book ending and I could easily see the LNA team up with Assad after to finish off HTS and Turkish influence.

During the mutual confrontations with Turkey, it became clear it is possible for Erdogan to be spread too thin. For all that talk in Syria, he did not achieve the Sochi objectives he began with, just as he yielded to secondary objectives in Rojava, while losing land constantly in Libya. LNA and SAA are modernizing rapidly to cope with Turkish drone attacks, and as a result, are becoming some of the most experienced and advanced military forces in the MENA region. Saif al Islam is on schedule to achieve power at the fall of Misurata, a place his father could not conquer, with his place in the history books alongside Haftar unmistakable, so Libya's victory will not be Haftar's alone

Might be wishful thinking that the two would 100% team up and tag team lead Libya following the end of the war. But what other options are there really. Heres to hoping Sarraj is arrested along with all the other NATO plants.

I think Haftar already had his Stalingrad moment when Sirte was recaptured, being the city Gaddafi was killed in and the place this shitshow really started at.

You have to remember that the only libyan source used here is the most biased, one-sided twitter source out there.

Of course in their view the guys, who are stalled for a whole year around Tripoli despite overwhelming material and numerical advantages and until recently complete control of the open skies (in a war that is still fought outside urban areas and in the desert) is somehow the ' most experienced and advanced military forces in the MENA'

And I'm not here to shill for the GNA islamists, I just dont think it useful to build ones understanding of an unter-reported conflict on literary saudi propaganda.

The same people who rightfully ridicule saudi claims in Yemen, somehow blindly believe them in Libya.

t. 0rk

Saudi has little to no role in Libya and the UAE by far keeps Haftar equipped with Pantsirs, Wing Loong drones, and new vehicles. However, Haftar predates these foreign powers and was entirely a force within Libya when it was clashing with Islamists in Benghazi and Derna. He may have Javelin missiles and Mi-35s, but Haftar's strength is due to the constant mistakes of the Tripoli militias. The very formation of these militias was provoked by Al Jazeera nearly a decade ago, and from that time to now they have not shown any sense of professionalism whatsoever. The war in Libya contains much more than the battle of Tripoli, so using that as a barometer would only give you a superficial view of the forces at work.

Tripoli is not an empty city. And Haftar's only claim is the destruction of ikhwani-affiliated military formations within his home nation of Libya. If Haftar has any equivalent in Yemen, it's STC, with its targeted assassination strikes against Islah. Islamism in the Mahgreb is an old evil. Algeria saw all these same types of battles during the times of the FLN, and there was no Turkey selling drones to ikhwanis then. Reacting to Turkish expansion is not equivalent to the expansion itself; all these ikhwani expansions are just methods of undermining the national states for Turkish military action and exploitation. Haftar is ahead of the game in this respect, not agreeing to Erdogan-Putin ceasefires, and not relenting in his campaign to remove the militias from controlling a city they barely understand.

Turkey is not in the MENA region, so it is perfectly understandable for Haftar to have trouble taking a Turkish-run and occupied city - the same as Bashar al Assad and Afringhastan. Haftar has already defeated the Islamists who were not using foreign donations to sustain themselves, now he has arrived at the true face of the enemy - non-Libyans

At no point has Khalifa Haftar had complete control of the open skies - GNA's air wing is veteran mercs
