German Chancellor Angela Merkel has urged Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar to end his Libyan National Army’s push on Tripoli, saying there can be no military solution to the country’s problems. Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Thursday that the chancellor made the comments in a telephone call to Fayez al-Sarraj, the leader of the UN-backed transitional government in Tripoli. Seibert says Merkel “condemned the advance of General Haftar’s troops on Tripoli,” AP reports. The German government urgently demands that Haftar and his supporters “immediately end all military operations,” according to the spokesman.
