The commander of the Sirte-Jufra Operations Room, Ibrahim Baytelmal, has said that the coastal road reopening could take place on Sunday – March 07 – reiterating that consultations with senior commanders on military axes regarding the mechanisms for the reopening were ongoing.
Baytelmal told Libya Alahrar TV Saturday that military engineers and demining teams would be working tirelessly on Saturday ahead of convening the House of Representatives’ full-quorum session in Sirte on Monday, when the MPs would carry out a vote of confidence for the Government of National Unity.
“The reopening of the coastal road needs a lot of preparations and measures, including security procedures that need to be in place before it happens.” He added.
Baytelmal reiterated that there are fears that the mercenaries present in the Sirte-Jufra region would carry out a military attack these days, a move similar to what they did to fail Ghdadames conference in 2019.
