The challenge of Turkey is accepted. Marshal Haftar announced mobilization in Libya

Field Marshal H. Haftar declared jihad and mobilization in Libya, whose goal is to fight against foreign troops.

This refers, of course, to the Turkish troops. According to Mr. Haftar, the Turkish president seeks to revive the "Ottoman heritage", including in Libya.



Recall that Khalifa Haftar is currently commanding the Libyan National Army.

The other day, the Turkish parliament gave the green light to sending troops to Libya. This was the reason for the announcement of mobilization. “We accept the challenge,” Al-Arabiya quoted Marshal Haftar as saying. According to him, the upcoming fight will be directed against foreign troops, anyone who just sneaks into Libya.

Marshal admits that Turkish President Erdogan, prone to a policy of "Ottoman" revival, leads his own army "to death."

Jihad announcement means now weapon everyone will receive, including civilians, including women.

The situation in Libya, we note, is complicated. It’s hardly necessary to talk about general mobilization, since Haftar’s power does not extend to the whole country: the “other” Libya at the end of December just turned to Ankara for military assistance, and on this basis, the Turkish parliament urgently considered a bill to send troops to Libya. The document was quickly approved by the parliamentary majority.

Probably, to begin with, Ankara will send specialists to Libya to train local military personnel serving in the army of the Government of National Accord. It is possible that Ankara will also begin the supply of arms of Tripoli.

    How can you smash the MOST successful country in Africa? To declare its leader a dictator and "feed" the petty people thirsty for power ... And now anyone who imagines himself Sultan Suleiman can send troops and grab the oil fields and whatnot ...

      In vain he is.
      It was polite to appeal to all foreign states through the media with a request not to send in their troops, but to help with diplomatic methods. Not specifically focusing on Turkey.
      It is clear that the Turks would not pay attention to this (but they will not pay attention to his current threats either).
      But then, when the troops enter, try to make their life as uncomfortable as possible - partisanism, media coverage of their crimes, etc. (that is, what he was going to do), while constantly appealing through the media with a polite request to leave the country.

      Well, not everyone can send. Erdogan seems to have made up his mind. Other sultans are still cautious, because it is not enough to seize the oil fields - they also need to be restrained and production must be organized with delivery, and this is quite risky in the conditions of the civil war. feel

      That is precisely why it was possible and necessary. Why do we need successful competitors? Yes, and with ambition? But now everything is fine - instead of a successful influential country, a territory with gangs of democrats fighting for fragments and slave markets. Now the regional powers can divide or occupy it. Something Egypt, something Turkey. And there you look and Algeria wakes up. request

    In fact, this is more of a statement to the media.

    All who are really capable of + up to 2000 UAE Sudanese Sudanese are already under arms.
    Distribution of weapons to everyone, there can play a minus. Especially in central and southern Libya - where Haftar holds territories rightfully strong. He has only a loyal east of the country and then in Benghazi the Islamist cells are still active and sometimes carry out strong attacks on convoys.

    His main problem is a positional dead end. From the epic summer offensive in Tripoli, until today there are no particular successes. Moreover, the PNS even improved its position somewhat. Now Ahrar and other women have already been transferred to the PNS with experience, albeit with light weapons. Further more.

    That is, in the future, it is more likely that the PNS will try to solve the positional impasse to its advantage by accumulating forces. Plus with the Turks, landings along the coastal route and policies are possible.

    In Haftar’s favor, a conflict can be resolved only by putting the forces of another state on vacation or officially. But at least 2-3 BTGs on equipment with any kind of aviation cover.

      Algeria is now for cooperation with Turkey and it supports the PNS as the only legitimate authority in Libya.

      For the first time in many years, Turkey and Algeria will conduct naval military exercises in the central Mediterranean (just in the Libyan region, by the way). Algeria 2 frigates and Turkey 2 frigates.
      TCG GÖKSU and TCG GÖKOVA are already gone. It is unclear who Algeria will expose.

      Also, Turkey and Algeria concluded a lot of agreements on the weakening of all regimes between countries (visa, trade, etc.)

      Arab news writes that Erdogan is trying to court Algeria to participate:
      Erdogan in bid to drag Algeria into Libyan war

      With regional tensions simmering in the eastern Mediterranean, experts have drawn attention to the timing and objectives of the move considering Algeria neighbors war-torn Libya from the east.

      The exercise not only coincides with the 500th year of commemoration of Oruc Reis, an Ottoman governor in North Africa who discovered the island of Djerba in Tunisia, but also Ankara's surprise introduction of visa-free travel for Algerians.

      The two frigates are expected to be forwarded between Jan. 7 and 10... During the dispatch, Algerian naval forces will also receive training from their Turkish counterparts.

      The Tunisian leadership recently denied claims that the country would join an alliance with Turkey and Algeria in resolving the Libyan crisis.

        Yes, it’s still much easier. Algeria is on the side of those who are more likely to win.
        Despite all the militancy Haftara, his chances of winning, after connecting Turkey, approaching zero. After all, it was not in vain that he announced mobilization. Both sides of the conflict have enough weapons there. Sponsors both there and there. The problem is who to give it to. The population of Libya is only 7 million with a tail. For comparison, in Syria, 17 million. Turkey has a population of 82 million. And without any mobilization, Erdogan will be able to quantitatively block any number collected by Haftar.

    Ankara believes that Moscow's actions in Libya and its military support for Khalifa Haftar (who once again solemnly announced the start of the "last offensive on Tripoli" on December 12) openly harm all Turkish plans and the implementation of these memorandums. On December 10, Recep Erdogan critically recalled his presence in Libya mercenaries from the Russian "private military company Wagner", which is no longer hidden in the environment of Haftar:

      There is nothing interesting there, except for an attempt to stir up the local villagers, who are all deeply cared for, giving the "sacred" status to the war against an external aggressor.
      Jihad is a concept in Islam, meaning zeal on the path of Allah, the struggle for faith. The concept of military jihad has become the main meaning of the word for non-Muslims and has received the name "holy war" (c). Wikipedia

    It must be remembered that according to information from many sources; the information is not refuted by representatives from the Foreign Ministry and other structures that our compatriots from PMCs are in Libya and other regions of the Middle East. I want to tell those comrades right away - who cares about the citizens of Russia and the citizens of the DPR who are there as part of the PMC units (These, "beams of information breaking through the darkness," which do not refute the institutions of power of the Russian Federation.); many of our compatriots are there as part of PMCs not because of the good life in the Russian Federation, not because of the good life in other regions of the post-Soviet space; officials serving in the institutions of power should remember that if ours are "thrown" there, and there are enough examples in the newest anti-human doctrine, based on "Old Testament concepts", widely known before the appearance of the 10 commandments, then there are examples of how later those who survived after the "treacherous meat grinder" took revenge and made revolutions. Fear ...
    We - the society must remember this. The Government of the Russian Federation, if you sent our compatriots there, then you must do everything that depends on you, that depends on saving and helping our people. Your children from a good life do not go there. Today, if you "kill" people from PMCs, tomorrow you will have a career army ...

      And yet, I want to clarify; Erdogan personally, according to the media, reported on the information that there are Russian mercenaries in Libya defending the interests of political forces against which Turkey is opposed. Russian mercenaries defend the interests of "Kremlin institutions". Gentlemen, generals and other politicians who are protégés of projects like PMC "Wagner" and others, everything suits you. After all, for the death of a mercenary, as you sometimes say with contempt, pay life pensions to widows, you don’t need to help children - that means the treasury will not empty. Yes, there are scumbags, but most of the people there are normal people, "just" the concepts of the modern World are such that a person is a commodity. And if with their lives they "protect the treasury of Russia" from ruin - the military budget (pension reform for the cadre army), and so that you do not blush, blowing snot in front of the widows of the cadre military, then do not throw men. This, too, is a mirror of our society.

    Deeply erroneous assessment. Haftar is a figure, not the only acting force. In Libya, there is a clash of many states, and not just head-on-head confrontation between units directly subordinate to him, and the Turkish contingent.

    Moreover, with all the high-profile statements made by Erdogan, Turkey is in no hurry to send troops.

      The comments in support of the intervention, actually another Turkish aggression in Libya, are very surprising.
      Since when has Turkey been a friendly country to Russia, it is just a temporary "ally", moreover - very, very dubious. Who literally a year ago was the main enemy and accomplice of terrorists, fighting on all fronts against Russia, and continues to do the same by the way - everywhere, in Sirria (they are fighting against Assad, no need to tell, I think that Assad is supported by Russia), Turkey's politicians now they simply openly declare their claims on the territory of Russia, including the Crimea, they itch to everything - they want to revive the great Ottoman Empire, they are eager to fight against Haftar in Libya, can I remind you that it is Haftar that Russia supports. And the economic benefits of cooperation with Turkey for Russia are extremely doubtful, what are these benefits? In the construction of a nuclear power plant in southern Turkey by Russia, can you remind me who pays for this entire banquet of tens of billions? Or we have a big benefit from the fact that Russian tourists take out billions from the country by raising the Turkish economy. What is the benefit of a gas hub that is being built in Turkey with Russian money, where they will sell Russian gas to the Turks for a penny, and the Turks will withdraw all profits from resale. And yes, I completely forgot about the sold S-400 complex, can I remind you to whom we sold it - a country in NATO, which by the way is not going to leave, and who will benefit from this complex in case of a conflict with NATO, very large question

          Do not talk nonsense and do not misinform people - Russia is not satisfied in any way with Turkey's military intervention in Libya. You are aware that the leader of the terrorist PNS Libya Sarraj has close ties with the militants of the IS, Al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood groups banned in the Russian Federation, and it is he who asks Ankara for support. Naturally, the Turkish President did not hesitate with a decision and agreed to help, not disinterested of course, but in exchange for the use and development of all gas and oil fields. Turkey has long been supplying NTC terrorists with jihadists from Syria. Ankara is transferring Syrian militants and terrorists from the "Islamic State" and "Jabhat al-Nusra" through the Tunisian airport, from the airport the militants arrive in the cities of Misrata, Mitiga and Zuwara, captured by the so-called PNS Libya. In addition to supplying militants by air, Turkey also provides assistance to terrorists by delivering equipment and weapons by ships. This is not the first time that Ankara has violated the UN arms embargo. The so-called "Government" of Sarraj is recognized by only 12 UN member states, and there is no Russia there! The Libyan National Army under the command of Haftar is conducting the counter-terrorist operation "Al-Karama", designed to free the African republic from militants and Islamists. Russia supports Haftar Yeshe and because it was he who guaranteed to pay off all the old debts of Libya and adhere to all previously existing agreements with Russia!

    Reduce, in short, the message:
    "The Libyan parliament, recognized by the international community, voted to cancel the agreement on the introduction of Turkish troops into the country, reports the Al Arabiya TV channel."

    "The parliament also called for an end to relations with Turkey and the closure of embassies to resist interference in Libyan affairs. The head of the parliamentary defense committee demanded that the head of the internationally recognized government of national accord (GNA) in Libya, Fayez al-Sarraj, should be accused of high treason."

    "It is noted that Tripoli asked the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting and prevent Ankara's intervention, as well as to annul the agreements between it and al-Sarraj."
