Khalifa Belqasim Haftar ((アラビア語:خليفة بلقاسم حفتر); born c. 1943) is a Libyan general and the principal commander of one side in the ongoing Libyan Civil War of 2014. On March 2, 2015, he was appointed commander of the armed forces loyal to the elected, internationally backed government, the Council of Deputies. Transliterations of his name include ''Heftar'', ''Hafter'', ''Hifter'', ''Hefter'', etc. Haftar was born in eastern Libya. He served in the Libyan army under Muammar Gaddafi, and took part in the coup that brought Gaddafi to power in 1969. He commanded the Libyan contingent against Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973.〔 In 1987, he became a prisoner of war during the war against Chad. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Gaddafi. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining U.S. citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted ''in absentia'' of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the forces which overthrew Gaddafi in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Haftar has been described as having fought "with and against nearly every significant faction" in Libya's conflicts, and as having a "reputation for unrivalled military experience". ==Early life== Haftar was born in Ajdabiya around 1943, and is a member of the al-Farjani tribe. He graduated from the Benghazi Military Academy and then went on to receive military training in the Soviet Union and Egypt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khalifa Haftar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
