Turkey Preparing to Send New Group of Syrian Mercenaries to Libya
2021-02-14
[LibyaReview] On Saturday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) revealed that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
is preparing to send a new group of Syrian mercenaries to Libya.

This comes amidst international calls for the removal of all imported muscle from Libya.

In a statement, the SOHR indicated that the current Ottoman Turkish preparations for sending a new group of mercenaries to Libya comes a few days after cancelling the return of another group of 140 mercenaries from Libya to Syria. The reasons for this remain unknown.

The observatory also noted that the recruitment process was taking place through brokers in the Syrian Idlib region and the northern countryside of Aleppo and Afrin. Recruits are offered financial incentives with a monthly salary of up to $400, under the pretext of securing facilities in Libya.
I seem to recall Turkey was offering considerably more — $1200? — last time round.
Last week, reliable SOHR sources confirmed that a state of anger is prevailing among the Syrian mercenaries in Libya, as a new group of them had their repatriation journey to Syria cancelled. This ignited greater discontent among the mercenaries who had already packed up and were ready to return.
