At a rapid pace, and within a few days, the presence of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar's forces decreased further in western Libya, after the forces of the National Accord Government controlled the areas where Haftar forces were deployed in the west of the country, all the way to the outskirts of the city of Sirte in the north of the country.

Haftar's forces retreated hundreds of kilometers from Tripoli and the Libyan cities of the West despite the generous support from several countries, including Russia, France and the UAE, which predicts the failure of the campaign against the capital, according to observers.

Analysts and government officials believe that the development of Libyan military equipment after the agreement signed between the Libyan and Turkish governments at the end of last year, contributed to tightening the screws on Haftar's field forces on the ground.

Unsurprising collapse

Mustafa Al-Mujie, the spokesman for the Berkane Fury operation, confirmed that the collapse of Haftar’s forces was not surprising, especially after the Al-Wefaq government launched a storm of peace at the end of March.

"The Operation Fury Volcano Operation Room pursued a strategy of attrition and cut off the supplies of Haftar's forces, and any supply of fuel, weapons, or supplies that come to the western region is now being bombed directly by the Air Force," al-Majei said.

Al-Majai believes - in his statement to Al-Jazeera Net - that the defeatist spirit that affected Haftar's forces after the abandonment of Wagner's mercenaries, contributed to their dramatic fall in a few days, despite the availability of the ammunition and ammunition found by the reconciliation forces in Tarhuna and the liberated areas.

He pointed out that the Libyan-Turkish security agreement enabled Al-Wefaq forces to disrupt Hifter's flight over Tripoli, in addition to hitting the air defenses and the back lines of his forces.

He considered that "the page of Haftar and his tyrannical project coming from behind the borders folds with the return of Sirte to the authority of the Al-Wefaq government," noting that Haftar's supporters may search for an alternative to him.

Failure and cracking

From the point of view of a member of the Supreme Council of the State, Al-Qasim Dabars, one of the reasons for the retreat and retreat of the armed Hifter: the inability to achieve any progress on the ground over the past months, which caused a crack in the home front.

Debre added to Al-Jazeera Net that "controlling the West Coast cities and liberating the forces of the Al-Wefaq government, the important strategic air base, was the fatal blow that ended Haftar's dreams."

He explained that the liberation of the axes south of Tripoli precipitated the extension of control over the city of Tarhuna and the collapse of Haftar forces in other areas, and its retreat for more than 450 km.

The Libyan-Turkish agreement, and in
turn, the Libyan army leader, Brigadier Al-Tahir Al-Gharabli, affirms that one of the most important factors in the collapse of Haftar's forces is the enhancement of the combat capabilities of the forces of the Al-Wefaq government after the Libyan-Turkish agreement, which is not hidden by anyone.

He added, "There are combat reinforcements, including flying helicopters, advanced vehicles and various weapons added to the forces of the Al-Wefaq government, in addition to the faith of our youth in the cause they are defending and that made the difference."

Al-Gharably told Al-Jazeera Net that Haftar's forces are non-united multinational militias, which caused weakness in their strength, cohesion, and rapid collapse, after the defect in the defensive combat positions that Haftar could not fill its gap.

Al-Gharabally believes that the next task for Al-Wefaq forces is to exploit the circumstance that Haftar's forces are going through to control the whole of the now-prepared Libyan south, in addition to liberating Al-Jafra and the surrounding areas.

He considered that Sirte is the key to the eastern region and the strong defense line with which the militias of Haftar and the popular front of the former regime are entrenched, pointing out that the liberation of Sirte facilitates military operations to the city of Ajdabiya in the east.

Defensive line

For his part, the military expert, Adel Abdul Kafi, affirmed that the will of the Libyan army and the supporting units in the Al-Wefaq government for more than a year, to establish a defense line to repel mercenaries and Haftar militants, contributed to the end of the military operations around Tripoli.

He continued, "The development in the relationship between the Libyan and Turkish state has created a political and military balance, after bringing some swarms of drones and advanced Turkish military equipment, and dealing with more professionalism to target the sites of Haftar militants."

Abdul Kafi told Al Jazeera Net that the countries supporting Haftar - led by the UAE - had failed to match the Turkish force, despite the presence of Emirati forces at the Al-Khadim air base, Russian Wagner mercenaries, Chadian and Janjaweed mercenaries and some local militias.

Abdul Kafi reported that the length of the Haftar supply line from Benghazi east to Tripoli, contributed - along with the length of the war - to the ease of targeting his forces and their exposure to hundreds of kilometers in front of flying.

He considered that the last card that Haftar ventured into after the entry of Al-Wefaq forces to Sirte was to ignite the conflict over the oil fields and ports located in the Hilal oil region in central Libya.
