Despite being anti-Islamist, which group does Haftar reportedly ally with?

  • al-Qaida

  • Muslim Brotherhood

  • Salafi Madkhali militias

  • Hezbollah

Answer

Despite being anti-Islamist, Haftar reportedly allies with Salafi Madkhali militias. These militias adhere to a strict interpretation of Islam and are known for their conservatism. While Haftar's alliance with them may seem counterintuitive, it is believed that he sees them as a useful tool in his fight against his Islamist opponents.
