| 2019-03-06 |
| [Libya Observer] The Head of the Presidential Council Fayez al-Sirraj has issued two decrees degrading the military rank of the Chief of Staff Abdelrahman al-Taweel to Brigadier General - which is his rank before al-Sirraj promoted him - and ending his military service effective immediately. Al-Taweel made news two days ago when he rejected his dismissal by al-Sirraj, saying he won't hand over his post to his replacement "Mohammed al-Sharif," and that al-Sirraj dismissed him in an individual decision "and that is illegal." Al-Sirraj sacked al-Taweel last February and replaced him with Mohammed al-Sharif. On Monday, al-Sirraj met with commanders of Sabha, 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... , and western military zones to discuss the developments in the different regions. According to the statement after the meeting, al-Sirraj who is described as "The Commander in Chief of the Libyan Army." has been briefed about the military and security statuses in those regions. |
