PARIS, France - The United Nations envoy for Libya on Monday warned countries tempted to continue backing eastern strongman Khalifa Haftar that he was no democrat and his political agenda was not supported by most Libyans.

The battle for the capital has all but wrecked U.N.-backed efforts for a peace deal between the rival factions and threatened to further disrupt OPEC member Libya’s oil industry. Salame, whose tone on Haftar appeared tougher than previously, is touring European capitals to try to secure a consensus for a ceasefire and a return to peace talks as Western and Arab countries remain divided over how to tackle Libya.

“I’m suffering from a very deep division at the U.N. Security Council that prevented a British draft to pass a resolution to stop the firing,” Salame said, referring to a resolution blocked last week by Russia and the United States.
