| 2017-06-22 |
| [Libya Herald] The commanders of western and central military areas appointed by the Presidency Council (PC) earlier this month were sworn in at a ceremony in the Prime Ministry building in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... today. Major-Generals Osama Juwaili and Mohammed Haddad took an oath of loyalty to the PC in the presence of Faiez Serraj, its head, as well as PC member Ahmed Hamza and the head of the Presidential Guard, Najmi Nakua. Also attending were the head of the head of the air force, Air Brigadier Abdulbaset Ben Jarid, and Brigadier Mohammed al-Nariyah, director of training. Under the Libyan Political Agreement, the PC is the collective commander-in-chef of the Libyan armed forces. Three weeks ago, the PC announced that it was dividing the country into seven military zones. So far, Haddad and Juwaili are the only two appointments to have been made. |
