In Libyan war, Russian mercenaries add deadlier firepower and modern tactics
The Washington Post reports: "Hundreds of Russian mercenaries, many highly trained and well-armed,
are fighting alongside renegade Libyan commander Khalifa Hifter as he
seeks to oust the country’s United Nations-backed government, according
to Libyan military commanders and fighters, as well as U.S. military and
other Western officials. [...] the arrival of these mercenaries comes
at a time when Russia has been expanding its military and diplomatic
reach across the Middle East, Africa and beyond, enjoying greater clout
in places such as Syria where the United States is disengaging."
Comment: This news report reminds us of the ongoing and past involvement of Russia in Northern Africa. It's worth noting that the prophetic Gog Alliance includes Libya and North Africa and so it's very important to note those ongoing links with Russia. We expect they will grow stronger over time.
