Hifter postpones talking about his intention to run for presidency in Libya



Commanding general of the army, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar said he only recognizes the authority of the House of Representatives, though Libya needs to «have a high-level military experience leader», refusing to talk about the offer to take over the presidency, pointing out that Libya needs security and political and social stability first.

Marshal Khalifa Haftar avoided to directly respond to a question, by the US-Associated Press whether he would run for presidency, saying: «The country needs political stability, security  and social stability first, and will not answer this question until these things come true» and added that the capital « abducted by armed gangs, and in a state of chaos due to the presence of the Islamic militia factions ».

The Commander in Chief of the Army accused the United Nations envoy Martin Kobler to intervene in Libyan affairs, after seeking to arrange a meeting between Hfter and OS in order to discuss the formation of the Libyan army.
