| [Libya Observer] Lieutenant General Mohammed al-Sharif has taken office as the Chief of Staff of the Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... -based Presidential Council's (PC) government replacing Brigadier General Abdelrahman al-Taweel. The dismissed chief of Staff al-Taweel handed over the office and tasks to al-Sharif, according to the media office of the General Staff of the PC. Al-Sharif was appointed by the PC last February as the Chief of Staff and General Salim Juha as his deputy. In the same month, the dismissed chief, al-Taweel, refused the order of his replacement, saying the decision was void as Fayez al-Sirraj had taken it individually without consultation with other PC members. Later after that, al-Sirraj reduced al-Taweel's military rank to a Brigadier and ended his military career. |
