Newsweek quotes Rafik Hariri Center Nonresident Fellow Mohamed Eljarh on the power struggle between al-Qaeda and ISIS in Benghazi:
However, Mohamed Eljarh, Libyan analyst and non-resident fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Rafik Hariri Centre for the Middle East, says that the group may be trying to disguise the fact that they’re losing ground. “In reality, the army units and forces of Operation Dignity in the city have the upper hand and they have been putting them under a lot of pressure,”he says. “As a result, they are trying to have a war of propaganda.”
