Turkey announces sending new military backup to Libya’s GNA
Turkey’s Anadolu News Agency has reported the arrival of new
military backup from Ankara to the Government of National Accord (GNA) in a
clear violation of the United Nations arms embargo on Libya.
This isn’t the first time arms are are sent to the GNA but
the remarkably new thing is the fact that the Turkish Anadolu Agency –
state-run news agency – has announced it to the public.
Turkey’s intervention in the ongoing conflict in Libya has
been clear in providing the GNA with drones, weapons and ammunition in broad
daylight in violation of the UN arms embargo on the country as the
international community remains silent.
The two ‘death ships’ that have been halted heading to Libya
have passed through without accountability. Those ships might have been
preceded or followed by similar ones carrying cargoes to the GNA forces in
order to fuel the fighting, but no information has been obtained about them
yet.
The damaging airstrikes on the Turkish military bases used
for their drones in different Libyan airports made Turkey admit its backup for
GNA and its role in the current conflict in Libya as the international
community continues to sit idly by.
Meanwhile, the Israeli newspaper ‘The Jerusalem Post’
revealed that the Libyan National Army had shot down two Israeli Orbiter-3
aircraft last July.
The newspaper said the two Israeli aircraft were out of
three ones sent by Turkey to the GNA, questioning how those tactical warplanes
arrived in Libya.
