2019 in #Libya had an inflection point in the development of the war, a war that is going to enter in it's 6th year (9th since the start of Libyan revolution) in which this conflict is increasing the tension in the Middle East again. (1)
South Libya: #LNA entered, through military operations & agreements with locals groups (Tuareg & Tebu) in most of the populated areas S. #Libya, securing borders with Algeria & taking control over the last Oil fields out of it's control. (2)pic.twitter.com/T4Uo9OiKrc
In the first days #LNA made important gains & advanced very fast reaching Tripoli suburbs & International airport. With this advance, some areas change hands & joined #LNA. However most of armed groups in #Tripoli remained loyal to #GNA & reinforcements were sent from Misrata (5)pic.twitter.com/knfnZlnThf
After troops were reorganized #GNA launched counteroffensive recapturing many areas & stopped #LNA advance. From that moment #GNA adopted an attack attitude & slowly regained many areas, specially along Sawani-Gharyan road that culminated with the recapture of this town (6)pic.twitter.com/Wv9gr7MMaE
After these setbacks #LNA launched the 2nd phase called "attrition" phase. Which consisted in hit & run attacks towards #GNA positions. With this tactics #GNA defenses were deteriorated & #LNA start regaining lost positions & capture new ones. (7)pic.twitter.com/pYhfdllszg
Also attacks to recapture #Gharyan town were launched, but with small sucess. (8)pic.twitter.com/7ziqWHLs4C
On 12/12/2019 #LNA announced the 3rd & last phase called "enter" phase. Big reinforcements arrived weeks before & aerial activity had increased. 2 weeks before #LNA achieved small but accurate advances until today, reaching outskirst of the first neighbourhoods of #Tripoli (9)pic.twitter.com/j6NMnv9eN5
2020 in #Libya won't be very different that 2019. Flood of Dignity operation will continue during the next months & attacks will escalate in proportion due to the increase of troops & new equipment (10)
#LNA has the advantage of resources & aerial superiority. But tactic's need to change if Haftar wants to end #Tripoli operation soon, it's expected that #LNA will increase military activities in more fronts, specially in #Sirte & #Zawiyah during the the next weeks. (11)pic.twitter.com/w1WwlrY6N5
Also #GNA expanded their control West of #Libya where still holding border crossings with Tunis like supply routes (13)pic.twitter.com/WKmXfKp1yT
At the moment time is in #LNA favour & is expected Egypt, Sudan & UAE provide it with new equipent. Also #GNA waits Turkey for help to improve the situation, Turkey will provide it new military equipment of anti-tank & AA weapons.
Sending of troops is expected for both sides toopic.twitter.com/8sI7aGp6Z6
