Libya demands apology from Lebanon over flag incident
[ALMASDARNEWS] A Libyan Army general told the Saudi Okaz newspaper on Tuesday that his nation demands an apology from Leb after supporters of the Amal Movement replaced the Libyan flag at its embassy with their own last week.

According to the publication, Libyan army front man General Ahmed al-Mesmari criticized the attack on his country’s flag, stating that his country is still recovering from former President Muammar Qadaffy
...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later...
’s rule.

"Genuinely, we are very upset about what happened in Beirut. Our brothers in Leb, mainly those concerned about the cause of Sadr’s death, should know that the issue is also of concern to the Libyans who were suffering in the past from Muammar Qadaffy," the general told the publication.

"They turned the issue into a state issue and tried to exploit it one way or another. We are very upset about that, especially the tearing down of the flag," he continued.

"This flag represents the entire Libyan people. It doesn’t represent Qadaffy, nor does it represent a specific era," he would add.
