Spokesman: Libyan strongman's forces control south

The spokesman, Ahmed al-Mesmari, says Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter's troops entered several southern towns, including Ghat and Awaynat, the previous week.

The advances are the latest in an operation Hifter announced in January to "eliminate gangs, Islamic State terrorists and criminals" in the south.

The spokesman says Hifter's forces now control all Libya's borders except the one to the west.
