Libyan civil war
While many Firjani joined the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi (most notably in Ajdabiya and Benghazi) the status of others such as those in Sirte is uncertain. Khalifa Belqasim Haftar, the current commander of the rebel army is Firjani. His brother is the chief of the Firjan community in Benghazi.
