The complicated case of Libya and its militias
CGTN
Viewed from above, the Libyan conflict has looked like a battle between two main groups, the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli and General Khaled Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) based in the east of the country. But the reality is far more complicated than that, with a myriad of different and locally-based militias doing much of the fighting.
Much of the current image of Libya – as a struggle between the GNA and Haftar's LNA – is a creation from media reports, especially coverage relating to the international community's response to the conflict.
