Libyan tribal chiefs arrive in Egypt to stop Turkish ‘occupation’, ‘violation of sovereignty’

CAIRO – 16 July 2020: On Wednesday night, a delegation of Libyan tribal sheikhs has arrived in Egypt from Benghazi, where the forces of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar are stationed, to discuss ways to end Turkey’s “blatant interference and violation of Libyan sovereignty.”

In a statement, the tribal council, to which the delegation belongs, said the Turkish behavior in Libya is supported by armed militias in the Western part of the country and represents a direct threat to Libya and the neighboring countries, including Egypt.

The council called for consolidating efforts with neighboring states to secure the national security of both Egypt and Libya, in a way that ensures independence of the national decision and preserve the resources of the Libyan people against “invaders”.

The elected Libyan House of Representatives invited Monday the Egyptian Armed Forces to directly intervene in the country whenever there is a threat to the national security of both states, emphasizing the ongoing Turkish aggression and exquisiteness.

On the following day, the Supreme Council of Sheikhs and Lords of Libya supported the Libyan parliament’s calling for an Egyptian military intervention in Libya to end the Turkish unlawful existence.

The council’s spokesperson Sheikh Al Senousi said in press statements that any Egyptian intervention to protect the national security of both Libya and Egypt is totally justified.

Al Senousi added that all the Arab countries should participate in such intervention as Libya is considered to be an Arab cause, an Arab country that is being occupied by foreigners.

Al Senousi said that the council will send a delegation to meet the Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al Sisi in order to discuss the possibility of a military intervention in the face of the Turkish unlawful existence.
