What year was Haftar commander of the Libyan Army when the GNC refused to give up power?
2011
2012
2013
2014
Answer
Haftar led the Libyan National Army (LNA) in 2014 when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to relinquish power after its mandate had expired, leading to a civil war in Libya. The GNC had been elected in 2012 as an interim parliament but refused to step down after its term ended. This led to a conflict between the GNC and Haftar's forces, which has continued to this day.
