Al-Ghariani made his appeal to the nation in a weekly program broadcast on Tanasu TV. In his speeches, the Mufti persuaded Libyans that the Russians who have appeared in Libya in recent weeks are soldiers, not civilians, and are in the country illegally.
“Libyans living in the eastern, southern and western regions of the country must oppose their presence and take up arms to fight,” he said.
Libya. Russians stockpile equipment after entering illegally
According to local media, Russian soldiers with large quantities of equipment appeared near Benghazi and Tobruk. The military arrived there due to the collapse of the Syrian regime and the need for an urgent withdrawal from the base.
They were greeted at the scene by rebel general Khalifa Haftar and his son. Russian mercenaries from the former Wagner Group were already operating in these areas.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Abd al-Hamid Dubaibah of Libya's Government of National Accord reacted to the presence of Russian military personnel. The politician clearly emphasized that the arrival of the soldiers was illegal and that the Russian authorities had not consented to the presence of any Russian equipment.
Tensions in Libya after the collapse of the Syrian regime
At the same time, government leaders warned that they “will not accept Libya as an international battlefield” and announced that they would soon take steps to combat the presence of foreign forces on their territory.
Since the overthrow of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has been unofficially divided into two parts. The western side is controlled by the Government of National Accord, while the eastern side is controlled by armed groups led by General Khalifa Haftar.
