The Minister of the Interior of the Libyan Accordance Government, Fathi Pashaga, said today that the UAE is "the cause of disasters in all of Libya, and that it wants chaos to continue indefinitely."
In a press conference in Tripoli, the Minister called on the international community to realize that the Emirates are harming Libya by supporting retired Major General Khalifa Haftar with weapons and securing military contracts for him. The Libyan official indicated that there are many aircraft that come from Syria and bring weapons to Benghazi airport in eastern Libya to support the forces Hifter.
On the other hand, Pashaga said that fighters of the Al-Wefaq government were exposed in the Salah al-Din axis, south of the capital, to nerve gas released by Haftar's forces, adding that this resulted in paralyzing the movement of fighters and then killing them, and "this work is carried out only by Wagner," a Russian mercenary company She has been fighting alongside Haftar's forces for months.

Pashaga added that Haftar used what he described as Egyptian mercenaries during his forces' attack on Tripoli.
"Al-Wefaq" priorities
The Libyan minister stressed that the Al-Wefaq government forces are currently focusing "on trying to push their enemies away from the extent of Tripoli's artillery injury, after it made progress on the main fighting fronts in the west of the country last week."
In a telephone interview with Reuters, Pashaga added that expelling the forces of eastern Libya led by Khalifa Haftar from the town of Tarhuna, southeast of the capital, might end the ongoing war in the country.
And the encirclement of the hills surrounded by hills is the main strategic center for Haftar forces in the Libyan West, as it provides a local manpower for a campaign on Tripoli that relies heavily on the air support provided by the Emirates.

The United Nations Mission in Libya said on Tuesday that at least 3,100 people were displaced this week from their homes in Tarhuna and the nearby town of Qura Puli, which is controlled by the reconciliation government, as a result of the intensification of the fighting between the two parties to the war.
Attacks
in Tripoli At the same press conference, Pashaga pointed out that Haftar's forces intensified their attacks - which he described as brutality - against civilians "by indiscriminate shelling of the densely populated residential areas of Tripoli, and by bombing hospitals, health facilities and ambulances."
Today, the Ministry of Health in the Al-Wefaq government said that four civilians were injured in the navigation balcony area adjacent to the airport in Maitika in the capital, as a result of the area being subjected to random shells.
The Al-Wefaq government’s volcano anger operation, on its Facebook page, showed pictures showing some of the effects of the destruction caused by the missiles.
Haftar forces have been launching an attack on Tripoli in early April 2019 with the aim of controlling it, after it laid its hand on the entire Libyan east and a large part of the south of the country. However, Al-Wefaq forces responded to it and have been able in the past few weeks to move from defending the capital to attack the strongholds of Haftar's forces. On the west coast of the country, it regained control of strategic cities in that region.
