The HoR announced this week that it wants to summon Haftar to question him about the lack of progress in Benghazi. There has been more fighting around Sirte this week as Brigade 166 continues its efforts to dislodge IS from the town.

There was no overt anti-ISIS activity in Libya this week.

The battle for Benghazi intensified again this week after Hafter and his LNA forces announced another major push to oust militants from the city. Both sides suffered significant losses.

Hafter finally made some progress in Benghazi this week, taking almost full control of the notorious Al-Sabri neighbourhood. Fierce fighting also has continued around Sirte prompting Misrata’s Brigade 166 on 4 April to declare a curfew on the town.
