Chadian Mercenaries Begin Withdrawing from Libya
[LibyaReview] On Thursday, a Chadian mercenary group, known as the Union of Forces for Democracy and Development, announced its withdrawal from southern Libya.

The withdrawal comes shortly ahead of a UN-sponsored meeting regarding imported muscle stationed in Libya, who come from neighbouring Sudan, Chad, and Niger.

In a statement, the Chadian rebel group, led by General Mohammed Nouri, announced that they had begun departing from Libya into Chad. They indicated that this comes in the implementation of the terms of the Doha peace agreement. This was between the Chadian government and rebel factions, and was signed in August 2022.

Ramadan al-Tuwaijer, a Libyan legal expert, said that "all Libyans now call for the removal of all forces, and to end the presence of foreign bases in the country, without exception."

In press statements, al-Tuwaijer called for Libya to "establish balanced and strong relations with various international parties based on respect for the mutual illusory sovereignty of states and the exchange of interests."

He also highlighted the importance of Libya "taking a neutral stance towards international conflicts. This is required by the national interest and the existential security of Libya."

The withdrawal sheds light on the remaining forces of Evil deployed across the country, especially in Western Libya.

Libyan politicians believe that the issue of foreign forces and mercenaries, who have been present in Libya since 2014 has become managed by international bodies.

The UN Envoy to Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily, announced last week that they would hold a conference in a neighbouring country, to discuss further withdrawals.

#1 Global Security Org: UFDD - Union of Forces for Democracy and Development (UFDD) is Chad’s main rebel group - an Arab-dominated rebel group, is the largest Chadian rebel force opposed to President Deby. The group is led by Mahamat Nouri, who was a member of Deby’s cabinet until breaking with him in 2006 and launching the UFDD. The UFDD is composed of smaller armed factions including the United Front for Democratic Change (FUC), the Chadian Democratic Revolutionary Council (CDRT), and the Union of Forces for Progress and Democracy. The UFDD has several 1000 active members. The UFDD is accused of conducting joint operations with the Sudanese Janjaweed that target refugee camps in eastern Chad.
Having little recent success in Chad, UFDD decided to raise hell in Libya. The question now stands: Where will they go next? Best guess. Darfur.
