Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, confirmed during his participation in the Government Communication Forum as part of the Tripoli Media Days, that his government would not allow Libya to be transformed into an arena for international conflict, stressing his rejection of any illegal foreign interventions.
Dbeibah explained that his government addressed Russia regarding allegations of transferring military equipment from Syria to Libya, after the fall of the Bashar Al-Assad regime, stressing that Libya would not allow the entry of any foreign forces except under official agreements and within the framework of training.
Dbeibah expressed his fears of transferring the international conflict to Libyan territory, stressing that the Libyans had resisted colonialism in the past, and they are ready to resist it again if necessary.
Meanwhile, an official source in US AFRICOM told Libya Al-Ahrar that they were closely following the developments taking place in Syria and the departure of Russian forces from the northern regions toward Libya. The source added that the United States continued to work with leaders across Libya to ensure Libya’s sovereignty and to promote peace and stability in the region.
The Wall Street Journal revealed that Russia had transferred advanced air defense systems and other weapons from its bases in Syria to Libya. The newspaper indicated that Russian cargo planes had transported air defense equipment, including radars for the S-400 and S-300 interception systems, from Syria to bases in eastern Libya controlled by “Khalifa Haftar’s militias supported by Moscow.”
