Media: Struggle of mercenaries Russia and Turkey were transferred from Syria to Libya

due to the confrontation between the militias representing Russia and Turkey, the Libyan conflict “serenisima”. This conclusion makes the French historian Jean-Pierre Filho, presented their position on the pages of Le Monde (translation — InoPressa).

the Expert recalled that in Libya are fighting troops of the internationally recognized (including by Russia) of the government of massoglia (NTC) Faiza Saraja on the one hand and the Libyan national army (LNA), under the command of Khalifa the Haftarot, on the other.

in 2014, when General Haftar began “trying to assert its absolute power over the entire country, he recruited thousands of mercenaries in Sudan and Chad.” However, “in a new era proxy war” conflict was transferred in October 2018, when the force commander joined in “Russian mercenaries,” says Filho. The head of the LDF also supports Saudi Arabia, UAE and neighboring Egypt.

Further “escalation of the internationalization of the conflict” occurred in January 2019, when a powerful Muslim country like Turkey, began to support the army Saraga. In this case, “Turkey, like Russia, has transferred to Libya the mode of participation, which seemed to her to be successful in Syria,” the article said. The historian has in mind that Ankara is recruiting on the Libyan front combatants who fought on her side in the North of Syria. In the end, in Libya there are at least 7 thousand Pro-Turkish fighters.

Haftar is also attracted to his side involved in the conflict in Syria as mercenaries from among the militia to help the troops of President Bashar al-Assad “under the auspices of Syrian intelligence and Russian military.”

“Syrianization” bloody events in Libya is that in “camps” in her fall “of the Syrian mercenaries of the opposing parties,” explains the author of the material. In particular, according to the UN, in Libya there are about 1 thousand boytss Russian private military company “Wagner”, which was earlier attributed to participation in the Syrian war.
