Salabi and Nizar Kawan in Chad |
2014-09-17 |
![]() The visit is seen as an attempt by the Congress and its Libya Dawn ...aka Fajr Libya, the Islamist operation launched to counter that of General Khalifa Haftar (Operation Dignity). It is made up of the Libya Shield militia (Misrata and Moslem Brotherhood), Libya Revolutionaries Operations Room (Moslem Brotherhood), and Tripoli Brigade (close to Abdul Hakim Belhaj, head of Al-Watan party). Financing and moral support come from Turkey and Qatar... allies to gather international and regional support ahead of tomorrow's conference in Madrid on Libya. At the beginning of month, former Congress President Nuri Abu Sahmain was in Khartoum looking for Sudanese support. Both countries will attend the conference. Libya and Chad have a long and often bitter history of involvement in each other's affairs. However, corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... in the Libya neighbours' conference which took place last month in Cairo, Chad (and Sudan) agreed that the House of Representatives, not the former Congress, was Libya's sole legitimate legislature and that Libya's militias should be disarmed. |
