Last week, the 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) welcomed the outcomes of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF), which resulted in the selection of a unified interim executive authority.
The JMC stressed that it is fully committed to implementing all provisions of the ceasefire deal, calling for the removal of mercenaries and foreign fighters from the Libyan territory immediately.
The UN Security Council has urged all countries with foreign forces and mercenaries in the North African nation to withdraw them “without further delay”, as the divided North African nation moves toward elections in December.
Meanwhile, Turkey is preparing to send a new batch of Syrian mercenaries to Libya amid international calls for the removal of all foreign fighters from the country.
Erdogan stressed that Turkish forces are allowed to remain in Libya as long as the understanding it struck with the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) in 2019 remains effective.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has revealed that Ankara's current preparations to send new fighters come only a few days after it canceled the return of 140 mercenaries from Libya to Syria for unknown reasons.
French Foreign Minister Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian also called for the necessity of the departure of foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya. He confirmed his country’s support for international efforts to end the political crisis and end foreign interference in this country.
Erdogan criticized French President Emmanuel Macron for demanding the withdrawal of Turkish forces and mercenaries.
