Is Turkey Sending its Mercenaries in Libya to Afghanistan?
2021-12-27
That will be interesting for them.
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
has transferred tens of thousands of Syrian mercenaries to western Libya, since it announced its intention to intervene militarily in Libya in December 2019. It did so under a security agreement it signed with the outgoing Government of National Accord (GNA)The Ottoman Turkish government also sent Syrian fighters to the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is a disputed region between Armenia and Azerbaijan, to participate in the war alongside the Azerbaijani forces.

Sources have told Libya Review that Turkey, in coordination with Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
now intends to transfer loyal Syrian fighters, in Azerbaijan & Libya to Afghanistan.

Libya Review sources have confirmed that Turkey’s move to transfer mercenaries in Libya and Azerbaijan to Afghanistan is "supported by the change in Ottoman Turkish foreign policy in the Middle East."

These moves indicate that Turkey has begun to retreat from the "provocative" roles it used to play in a number of countries in the region, especially Libya. This step has come after an increase in international demands calling for the expulsion of imported muscle from the North-African country.

On October 8th, Libya’s 5+5 Joint Military Commission (JMC) signed a comprehensive action plan, which it described as the cornerstone of a gradual, balanced and sequential process for the withdrawal of mercenaries, imported muscle and foreign forces from Libyan territory.

Following the announcement of the Action Plan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
(UN), António Guterres, called on all Libyan and international parties to work towards implementing the plan for the withdrawal of mercenaries and imported muscle from Libya.

In a previous statement, La Belle France, Germany, Britannia, the United States (US) and Italia also supported the Libya’s JMC in implementing its comprehensive Action Plan for the withdrawal of mercenaries, imported muscle and foreign forces from Libyan territory.

International and regional calls for the necessity of removing the mercenaries from Libya put Turkey in a dilemma. This prompted it to go directly to coordination efforts with its ally Qatar, to get the mercenaries out of Libya.

The sources indicated that Turkey and Qatar are "working with full force to manage & operate Kabul Airport to enable them to transport Syrians from Libya and Azerbaijan to Afghanistan."
