"Salame is trying to control and operate the Libyan status quo through Fayez al-Sirraj (Head of Presidential Council) and this is rejected." al-Misamri said in a presser on Wednesday.
The remarks came as a reply to the statement made by the UNSMIL, headed by Salame, about "deep concern of the UN" over the mobilization in southern Libya, which al-Mismari called "a holy duty."
"We are not waiting for any thanks from anybody. But the achievements we make should not be denied." He added.
He also said, directing his words at Salame, that they won't let Libya be like Leb; a country of militias and multiple governments, adding that they won't also let Libya fall into the hands of terrorists, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...and
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor....
, which he said aim to take parts of Libyan lands.
The self-styled army led by Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all...has been in control of Benghazi for several years now but in the last weeks, Haftar had to announce the state of emergency due to the chaos, security vacuum, crimes, and robberies that had gotten out of Haftar's forces hands.
