Annex 9 Role of Nasser Bin Jreid and his links with the Union des Forces de la Resistance (UFR)

29. Bin Jreid is a former Libyan army officer, who had operated Sudanese armed groups in Libya under the former regime. From 2014 onward, he started operating groups from Chad and Sudan on behalf of the LNA. More recently, according to several sources including from within the Chadian opposition movements, Bin Jreid split from the LNA to join the former regime camp. Following accusations made against him of having joined the attack led by Jadran against oil terminals, Bin Jreid, in a televised intervention, denied having split from the LNA.

30. Bin Jreid is also known for his ties with the UFR of Timrane Erdemi, previously allied with the LNA. According to Chadian opposition sources, he played a role in recruiting Chadians to join Al Mabrouk Hneish in his attempt to move on Tripoli in November 2017. In December 2017, several commanders of the UFR were killed during a meeting hosted by Bin Jreid in a farm near Sabha. The UFR, headed by Timran Erdemi and commanded by members of his clan in Libya, is composed of several ethnic groups, including the Wedaya and Arab Mahamids, who had successively fought alongside the LNA, the BDB and Jadran Forces.
