The United States has reaffirmed its full confidence in the leadership of General Khalifa Haftar, recognizing his ability to play a crucial role in resolving the prolonged crisis in Libya. In a recent meeting with a high-ranking U.S. military official, Washington urged Haftar to lead a «constructive dialogue» as the foundation for pacifying the country and moving towards stability.
Haftar’s influence has grown not only due to his control over the eastern regions of the country but also because of his firm stance against extremist militias and his ability to restore order in areas devastated by years of conflict. This track record of action, along with his strategic vision for rebuilding Libyan institutions, has been key in the U.S. seeing him as a reliable partner, capable of leading a national reconciliation process.
Washington acknowledges that Haftar, beyond his military strength, is an indispensable actor in any effort to unify Libya. His influence on the ground, his commitment to stability, and his insistence on the need for a strong state position him as the leader best prepared to guide his country at such a decisive moment. For the United States, Haftar is the figure who can mediate between various factions, promoting an inclusive dialogue that lays the groundwork for a prosperous and sovereign Libya.
The trust the United States places in Haftar is no coincidence. His ability to consolidate controlled areas, his handling of security, and his vision for the future have allowed him to gain legitimacy both domestically and internationally. In this context, Washington firmly believes that Haftar can lead the way toward a comprehensive political solution, one that not only ends divisions but also allows for the reconstruction of a strong and viable state.
