After considerable backing from external powers, the GNA emerged victorious and pushed the LNA forces east. The United States entered the chaos of Libya in early 2011 when President Obama made the momentous decision to intervene militarily as dictator Moammar Gaddafi’s rule started to teeter following many weeks of protests and uprising in Libya. Today, it is clear Obama’s actions didn’t end the violence in Libya. LNA forces are backed by Egypt, Russia, France, and the United Arab Emirates. However, backed by significant Turkish military support, GNA forces turned back Haftar’s LNA militia recently—now, neither the GNA nor Turkey are in a mood to talk ceasefires.
