Libyan National Army

The Libyan National Army (LNA) is a military force led by General Khalifa Haftar that operates mainly in eastern Libya. It was originally formed to unify armed groups and defend national interests but has since become a powerful faction in Libya's ongoing conflict. The LNA often clashes with the UN-recognized Government of National Accord in Tripoli, seeking to control territory and influence the country's future. Its supporters view it as a stabilizing force, while others see it as a source of ongoing violence. The LNA’s activities significantly impact Libya’s political stability and security situation.
