Al-Sarraj meets US AFRICOM commanders in Tunisia

218TV sources revealed that the Head of the Libyan Presidential Council Fayez Al-Sarraj arrived with a government delegation on Monday in Tunisia in a rather surprising visit.

The sources said that Al-Sarraj met in Tunisia with military commanders from the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and then flew to London. No details were revealed about the meeting’s discussions by neither the sources nor Government of National Accord’s officials.

The visit of Al-Sarraj coincided with the loss of control of his forces on the strategic city of Gharyan, which is vital to the fighting in southern Tripoli between Libyan National Army and GNA forces that has been ongoing for about five months.

The fighting that broke out last April in southern Tripoli made AFRICOM evacuate its personnel from Libya on April 07 due to unrest in Tripoli.
