Libyan military leader ends rumors on apparent death by returning to Benghazi

in news •  7 years ago 


Libyan military chief Khalifa Haftar arrived at the Benghazi airport on Thursday after two weeks of medical treatment in Paris.

Footage shows head of the self-styled Libyan National Army being greeted by a delegation of officials after stepping off the plane unassisted.

Earlier this month, authorities reported that Haftar suffered from a 'medical issue', without offering detailed information about his health condition as he was taken from Jordan to France for hospitalisation.

Some media outlets speculated over Haftar's medical condition and its possible impact on Libyan political life.

In a televised speech from the airport shortly after his arrival Haftar reportedly said, "I want to assure you that I am in good health."
