CAIRO - 17 July 2020: Meeting with Libyan tribal chiefs on Thursday, who reportedly represented all Libyan people, Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said what has been seen as a starting line for imminent military intervention in Libya, to fight "outlawed" elements and terrorist groups.

Around 25,000 militias and mercenaries have entered Libya from Turkey, which is threatening the entire region's security, said  Libyan National Army Spokesman Ahmed Al-Mesmari.

In remarks to the DMC Evening talk show on DMC channel, Mesmari said that Turkey sends militias from different nationalities to Syria and Libya through Africa.

“He [Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan] still sends Syrian militias to Libya. There are elements, who received high-level training, went to Libya.

Turkey is preparing now to attack Sirte city and the oil crescent area,” Mesmari said.

In a press conference held in Benghazi on Thursday, Mesmari said Misrata and its airport and harbour have become a base for receiving Turkish reinforcements, asserting that Ankara is working to turn Misrata into an administrative base for moving its elements towards the oil crescent region.
