Iran Press/Africa: The so-called Libyan National Army, led by Khalifa Haftar, which has long been dominated to eastern Libya has advanced to the north over the past few months.
Haftar commanded to attack Tripoli on April 4 of this year, Iran Press reported.
Since the start of the attack, more than 1,000 people have been killed in Tripoli and at least 5,000 have been injured.
After the overthrown of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has been involved with political instability with the intervention of the United States and some European countries.
During the last 4 years, due to the disagreements between parties and groups, Libya has two parliaments (Tobruk parliament in the east and the Tripoli Parliament in the capital of Libya), and two armies.
The Tobruk parliament, supported by the Libyan National Army, is led by Khalifa Haftar; and the internationally-supported Government of National Accord (GNA) of Libya is led by Fayez al-Sarraj. 104/218
