Islamabad- Tazeen Akhtar ; Ambassador of Libya to Pakistan H.E Nizar A. Nabiyah has sand that Libyan Capital Tripoli is seeking world attention and support to help stop bloodshed and save the city from a destruction that Ben Ghazi had to face at the hands of General Haftar. The war-lord is not only using children below the age of 15 for his own motives in the war but also targeting the civilian airport of Mitiga. The airport is deserted since many days with no flights as the surrounding has been made a battle ground by General Haftar although he has not secured any success so far. 
While talking to this scribe on the sudden attacks by General Haftar’s troops on civilian installations around Tripoli , Mr. Nizar A Nabiyah said that Mr. Haftar’s self proclaimed Libyan National Army has surrounded the Capital from 10 to 50 Kilometers only few hours after UN General Secretary Mr. Antonio Guterres left Libya whom Mr Haftar agreed to solve the crisis by negotiations with the world recognized Government of National Accord(GNA). Thus violating his own word and assurances to the world body at different stages and places from UAE to Sicily and by latest in Libya when UN Sec General was on the visit on April 04 to review the arrangement of national conference that is not possible now in the latest situation.
Here it is worth mentioning that most of the attacks so far has been bogged down by the Army of GNA. Mr. Haftar’s adventure to take Tripoli this bad way is being seen as a sheer madness by the stubborn General. He had meetings with UN Secretary General when the later was on Libya visit few days ago. He agreed to attend the national conference meant to explore a peaceful solution to crisis. It was also agreed that the conference can be called in the mid of this month April. But as soon as UN Secretary General left Libya, Mr. Haftar kept aside all his words and attacked the Capital that gives rise to speculation that he was never sincere in maintaining peace and building  consensus among different groups for the welfare of the country and its people.
In this context, Pakistan in the World held a discussion with Libyan Envoy to Pakistan. Answering the questions , Mr. Nizar said that the address of Mr. Haftar before the attacks was like Hitler. He is attacking the civilian citizens on the pretext of action against the so called terrorists. Haftar should be asked does he need artillery to fight against the terrorists? He is targeting the civilian citizens. We have proofs that he is using children below the age of 15 in this move. Further his forces hit civilian airport when the passengers were there. World Community can take notice of these violations of Geneva Conventions and international laws. The attack should be stopped. Libyan crisis has no military solution.
Mr. Nizar said that Libya appeals to convene UN-GA session to bring an early cease fire and a peaceful solution.
He said that the preparations for National Conference were in final stage when Mr. Haftar attacked the capital. The conference was called on the idea of UN Secretary General in collaboration of GNA. Most of the political leaders including those who were active in Muammar Gaddafi”s regime as well. We had selected the venue of Ghadamis a city near Libya-Algeria border. Mr Antonio Guterres visited Libya to see the preparations. Secretary General also met with speaker of the parliament during the visit.
Envoy of Libya further said that Mr. Haftar agreed for dialogue and peaceful solution several times in meetings held in UAE, France, Sicily Italy again in UAE but finally when the time came to sit and talk, he attacked the capital putting aside all efforts to avoid bloodshed and destruction in the capital.
Mr. Nizar was confident that 3 Million citizen of Tripoli will stand shoulder by shoulder with GNA to save their city.
