Tension between Erdogan's mercenaries and Al-Siraj militia

On the sidelines of the battles between the Libyan National Army and the militias of the so-called Al-Wefaq government in the capital, Tripoli, fierce battles are taking place within the ranks of the militias affiliated with Al-Wefaq, caused by political competition over the expected spoils of cake.

In media statements to him, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, revealed a clear tension between the leaders of the Syrian mercenary groups in Libya and the Salafi groups, within the forces of the National Accord Government.

Abd al-Rahman pointed out that information had been received by the "Observatory" that the killing of at least 5 of the Syrian groups, using silencer guns, had not been announced.

 Statement of the Al-Wefaq militia

This is consistent with what the militias announced about a month ago, in which they attacked the Minister of Interior of Al-Wefaq Fathi Pashaga, who is from the city of Misrata, and accused the militias Pashaga of trying to erase their presence in favor of the militias belonging to Misurata, so that the latter would have the upper word.

The militia said in a statement issued by it that Pashaga relied in his plan on the Syrian mercenaries, considering that he had gained more confidence when the delegations of the armed Syrians arrived, thinking that they would make him the strongest man in Tripoli, according to the statement.

The militias pledged Pashaga, along with the Syrian mercenaries, hinting that they would target them and eliminate their presence in Libya.

The information revealed by the director of the Syrian Observatory regarding clashes between Syrian mercenaries and militias, indicates the latter's implementation of its threats that it had directed to Bashaga earlier.

Libyan politician Abdel Moneim El-Yossir considers that such internal disputes will facilitate the process of liberating Tripoli, noting that it weakens the ranks of reconciliation, and breaches of it occur.

He pointed out that this is in the interest of the Libyan army, which has been working to liberate the Libyan capital from the hands of terrorist militias for more than a year, trying to seize the opportunity to eliminate the militia completely.

 Sabotage of Libya sponsored by Turkey and Qatar

Over the course of a year, terrorist militias obtained material and military support from Turkey and Qatar, until Erdogan decided to send Syrian mercenaries from the Syrian factions to Libya, so that the Libyan militias could feel concern about the impact of their Syrian counterparts on the progress of events in their countries.

The Libyan politician stressed the need to strike strikes at Al-Wefaq forces at the moments when they are going through phases of disintegration, such as those they are now going through, and have caused clashes between members of the same class.

The clashes, which reveal the fragility of Al-Wefaq, add to the differences of another kind witnessed by the government.

These differences are represented in the verbal skirmishes that took place last week between the Awqaf Endowment Authority and the isolated Brotherhood Mufti Sadiq al-Ghayriani, who is residing in Turkey, against the backdrop of accusations made by the latter.

Al-Gharyani had launched an attack, along with his aides, on the Al-Wefaq Endowment Authority, accusing it of cooperating with the Libyan army, demanding that Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj overthrow the authority and replace its leaders.

In response, the commission close to Fayez al-Sarraj denied Ghariani's accusations in a lengthy memo, accusing Ghariani of bidding and trying to exploit the reconciliation government.

Libyan media put these differences in the context of the competition for mosques in Tripoli between the agents of Gharyani and Al-Wefaq, as the Libyan channel 218 said that the aforementioned differences were caused by Gharyani's desire to regain control of the mosques in Tripoli, and then restore the religious influence over the capital.

This is evidenced by the decline in the influence of Gharyani, a resident of Libya, and it is only seen once in a week on the Libyan TV program.
