Fayez al-Sarraj, the head of Libya's internationally recognised government in Tripoli, has accused France on Wednesday of supporting his rival Khalifa Haftar, whom he described as a "dictator".
The comments from Sarraj to the Liberation and Le Monde newspapers in France are his harshest criticism yet of Paris, which has long been suspected of offering backing to Haftar, a former army field marshal based in eastern Libya.
Haftar, head of the self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), has gradually expanded his territorial control and launched an offensive on 4 April on Tripoli where Sarraj's government is based.
