Flood of Dignity

Fight for Tripoli in 2019-2020

In 2019, Field Marshal Haftar attempted to take Tripoli using his Libyan National Army (LNA). He met some initial success, however, the Tripoli militias united and held. With the assistance of Turkey, the Tripoli militias were able to drive his forces back in a counteroffensive, culminating in a United Nations-brokered truce.
