Sacred chaos: Turkey’s interests, Qatar’s goals and ambitions of terrorists meet in Libya

While the Libyan National Army works to combat terrorist militias responsible for destabilizing Libya’s security, it also confronts another terrorist threat from Qatar and Turkey, which are supplying terrorist militias with money, weapons and all kinds of logistical support.

Before the International Criminal Court

Turkish-Qatari Intervention in the Libyan issue prompted the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Libyan interim government Hadi al-Hweij in late August to declare that the Libyan authorities monitor abuses and violations of Qatar and Turkey in Libya, to submit a file to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.

He pointed out that work will be done to unite institutions, and form a national government, to make Libya be a country of freedoms, human rights, and not a place for the export of terrorists and weapons that destabilize the security and stability of neighboring countries.

However, the Secretary-General of the Arab Organization for Human Rights in Libya, Abdel-Moneim Al-Hur, stressed that Qatar and Turkey’s support for extremist groups and militias that have fragmented national state institutions facilitated terrorism coexistence in different Libyan regions.

Al-Hurr held the regional and international regimes responsible for reaching a collective effort to support the official security and military institutions, fighting terrorism in Libya, pursuing countries that support terrorist organizations, and stopping the expansion of terrorist organizations.

Libby warning

On September 4, the Libyan National Army issued a statement in which both Qatar and Turkey vowed to defeat them, saying that they would have no place in Libya and vowed to retaliate as long as their rulers’ hands tampered with the security and stability of the Libyan state. The two countries go ahead in supporting terrorist groups and Brotherhood militias, extremists as well as human and fuel smugglers, considering this act as a disregard for the resolutions of the United Nations and the Security Council.

The army announced earlier that it had shot down a Turkish drone aircraft that was working for armed militias, loyal to the government of reconciliation, headed by Fayez el-Saraj south of the capital Tripoli

In Libya: The interests of Turkey and the objectives of Qatar

The Turkish intervention in Libya is due to the help of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is allied with the Libyan Presidential Council and governs largely in the capital Tripoli. The Libyan army threatens the Brotherhood on which Turkey depends to control the Arab countries, so Turkey is working to provide them with the necessary support so as not to make them lose control of Tripoli in any way.

On the intervention of Doha, the former delegate of Libya to the United Nations Abdulrahman Shalgan revealed that there is a Qatari conspiracy on his country, pointing out that the Emir of Qatar has a long-term strategic project that will not be achieved except for the installation of a government loyal to him in Libya.

The UN envoy stressed that for eight years, the Qatari regime has worked hard to turn Libya into a failed state after failing to impose its allies on the people.

The Qatari intervention in Libya has transformed it into an arena of chaos and insecurity since Doha armed the forces of political Islam and militarized the protests that began in the east of Libya.
