Son of Libya’s Haftar vows to make up for ‘lost years’ under Qaddafi

BENGHAZI: Belgacem Haftar, son of eastern Libya’s military chief Khalifa Haftar, touted in an interview with AFP what he called a push to make up for more than 40 “lost years” under slain ruler Muammar Qaddafi. After Qaddafi was killed during the 2011 revolution, Libya descended into civil war, splitting the country in half as the Haftar clan took power in the east. The field marshal exercises tight security control in the area he rules and, now Belgacem, one of his six sons, heads a reconstruction program and appears to be seeking to restore the clan’s legitimacy.
