Terrorist mufti Ghariani calls on Libyans to commit suicide for Turkey

As is his habit of calling for violence and chaos, exiled Libyan mufti Sadiq al-Ghariani has returned to launch more extremist fatwas, calling for the necessity of reviewing the relations of the Government of National Accord (GNA) and its militias with Ankara to support the fighting fronts, not with the forces, but with all available means in preparation for what he called a war that has not ended yet, in order to set fire to Libya.

War continues

In his latest appearance on the Tanasuh channel, which is broadcast from Turkey, on the evening of Wednesday, December 16, Ghariani, known for his strange and extremist fatwas, called on the GNA to further strengthen its relations with Turkey and support the battle fronts in preparation for the next battle.

Ghariani said in an interview addressed to GNA officials, “We must review our relations with our friends in Turkey, because the war is not over yet. We must stand with the battle fronts and support them not only with the forces but with all the means needed for the battle that may be coming.” This is in reference to the increased weapons and military equipment.

During another appearance in early November, Ghariani said, “The members of Volcano of Anger have paid a heavy price on the battlefronts for their cause. They must take care of themselves. Because if they agree and remain silent, and if they enter into an upcoming transitional phase, this means prepare yourselves for upcoming wars that will eat up green and everything. ”

He was satisfied with accepting calls to participate in the fighting only, saying, “Unfortunately, the leaders of the battalions have all surrendered. When they call them to war, they fight, and when the war ends, instead of taking over the reins of affairs, they watch; whether the leaders of Zawiya, Gharyan, or the major regions.”

More chaos

On the other hand, Ghariani’s terrorist fatwas come to fuel conflict and chaos at home between the Libyan factions, as his fatwas coincide with the resumption of the air bridge activity to transport weapons between Turkey’s airports and western Libyan airports, and with statements made by GNA Minister of Defense Salah El-Din al-Namroush threatening to withdraw from the ceasefire agreement signed between the two parties to the conflict, in which he questioned the chances of success of the 5+5 Military Commission’s understandings, and another launched by Erdogan, in which he threatened a severe retaliation after the Libyan army seized a Turkish ship after entering a military operations area off the coast of Ras Al Hilal.

Ghariani, who is described in Libya as the “Mufti of Blood and Terrorism,” criticized Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha’s visit to France, which he said was leading a campaign against Turkey because of its support for Libya. He considered Bashagha’s step as “letting down the Turkish ally who supported Libyans in a time of distress,” in reference to the unlimited Turkish human and military support that Ankara provided to the GNA and its forces in its battle against the Libyan army.

Ghariani called for the necessity of the GNA militias adopting the ISIS strategy by committing suicide attacks instead of being allowed to fall into captivity.
