Al Jazeera: Haftar rejects GNA's call for Libya ceasefire
LNA dismisses ceasefire announcement as 'marketing' stunt, says GNA is planning a Turkish-backed offensive on Sirte.
Renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar's forces have dismissed a ceasefire announcement by Libya's internationally recognised government as a "marketing" stunt.
Ahmed Mismari, spokesman for Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), said on Sunday rival forces from the war-torn country's west were mobilising around front lines in the centre of the country.
In a media briefing, he said the eastern-based forces were ready to respond to any attempted attack on its positions around the coastal city of Sirte and Jufra, further inland.
