the return of groups of Syrian mercenaries was suspended since mid-November 2020. On February 13th, SOHR sources reported that the return of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries was completely suspended. Some of these mercenaries in Libya confirmed that they were not asked to prepare to return.

The presence of foreign mercenaries in Libya has continued despite all international demands, the Libyan-Libyan agreement and the passing of the deadline given to foreign mercenaries to leave Libya. According to the Libyan-Libyan agreement, imported muscle (mercenaries) were supposed to withdraw from Libya within three months after the ceasefire came into force on October 23rd, 2020.

According to SOHR statistics, the number of recruits who arrived in Libya approximated 18,000 Syrian mercenaries, including 350 children under the age of 18, of whom 10,750 returned to Syria after completing the duration of their contracts and receiving their financial dues. While the number of jihadists who were transported from Syria to Libya reached 10,000, of whom 2,500 were Tunisians.
