"Al-Haddad, Libya's highest-ranking military officer, was a key figure in the United Nations-brokered efforts to unify the country's divided armed forces. His death drew condolences even from the rival factions. Haddad was this strong, charismatic leader who always [sought] peace in the country, said Al Jazeera's Malik Traina, reporting from al-Haddad's hometown of Misrata, Libya. He was a man of peace, well-respected across the country, even among people he fought against."
"Turkiye has held a military ceremony to honour a group of Libyan officials, including military chief Mohammed Ali Ahmed al-Haddad, who were killed in a plane crash over Turkish territory earlier this week. The ceremony, held on Sunday at Murted airbase outside the capital, Ankara, honoured al-Haddad and four other military officers who were in Turkiye for high-level defence talks before the crash on Tuesday."
Turkey held a ceremony at Murted airbase near Ankara to honor Libyan military chief Mohammed Ali Ahmed al-Haddad and four officers killed in a plane crash over Turkish territory. Military chief Selcuk Bayraktaroglu and Defence Minister Yasar Guler attended. The aircraft went down shortly after takeoff from Ankara; Libyan officials cited a technical malfunction and all aboard, including three crew members, were killed. Al-Haddad served as Libya's highest-ranking military officer and a central figure in United Nations-led efforts to unify divided armed forces. Rival leaders including Khalifa Haftar offered condolences. Five coffins draped in Libyan flags were loaded for repatriation and an official funeral will be held in Libya.
