Foreign intervention in Libya facilitates relocation of foreign terrorists in the country, the statement was made at a meeting of foreign ministers in the headquarters of the League of Arab States in Cairo, Libyan channel 218TV reported on March 5.
It is reported that “the ministers called for a comprehensive political solution to the Libyan crisis, stressing support for the implementation of agreements that guarantee stability in Libya. ” They noted that foreign interference in Libya’s affairs should be stopped.
The ministers council supported the decisions of the Berlin Conference held on 19 January and the resumption of the political course at the meetings of the Military Committee in the ‘5 + 5’ format in Geneva.
Arab foreign ministers demanded the prevention of any threats to Libyan oil facilities, and the right for Libyan people to a fair distribution of their country’s resources.
Earlier General Secretary of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit confirmed the League’s commitment to continue its efforts to support a ceasefire and establish a dialogue between the parties under the auspices of the UN. Abul Gheit also discussed the situation with the Foreign Minister of the Government of National Accord in Tripoli, Mohamed Siala.
On March 3, the House of Representatives of Libya, located in Benghazi, sent its protest to the UN and its envoy to Libya about the choice of the House of Representatives members to a working group within the framework of negotiations in Geneva. The protest was triggered by the fact that the UN did not agree on the list proposed by the House of Representatives and decided to choose those of the House who should participate in the working group. Thus, the House of Representatives has suspended its participation in the negotiations.
Selling of Libyan oil was halted in January 2020 due to workers’ strikes supported by the Libyan National Army (LNA) in order to prevent the receipt of earned money by the Libyan Central Bank, which, according to the Tribal Council of Libya, as well as the LNA, uses these money to attract foreign terrorists hired to protect Tripoli. This means that the eastern tribes are not receiving their share of the oil revenues.
Editorial comment
The decisions announced at such meetings regarding the need for excluding foreign influence in Libya, unfortunately, seem to be nothing but words. No resolutions aimed at effectively excluding foreign influence have been adopted so far. For example, no open demands have yet been made for the withdrawal of one of the most obvious sources of influence in Libya – the Turkish forces in Tripoli.
