Finally, he stated: “We support inter-peoples peace and collaboration in order to advance growth and prosperity; we do not call for war.
“Haftar travels
After touring the construction projects overseen by an emergency room and planned by the city of Benghazi, which was established by the Prime Minister appointed to the Libyan Parliament, Fathi Bashka, Haftar paid a visit to Al-Jafra the following day.
It also came two weeks after Haftar’s visit to the city of Sebha on October 17, during which he witnessed a military parade of a number of forces and units of the General Command in the southern region.
Self-determination
According to Libyan political analyst Mohamed Qashout, Field Marshal Haftar made numerous obvious points in his address, chief among them “the failure to find peaceful measures to remove foreign soldiers,” as he was evacuated in accordance with the army’s responsibilities from any potential escalation.
On a political level, Haftar spoke about “the importance of restoring the Libyan people’s right to decide their fate with a free will” and preventing interference with “the unity of its lands and its sovereignty,” all of which, in his view of Keshout, faced a dead end. He also discussed developments in the “political, constitutional, and military” paths.
According to Ahmed Al-Aboud, a political science professor at Benghazi University, “the army was able to present a model to restore security and stability in the eastern and southern regions, giving the talk of Field Marshal Haftar credibility regarding the contribution to restoring the unity of the state in all of its parts and preserving On its independence and identity.
Al-Abboud believed that the achievement of this tough equation in the Libyan scenario, as well as success in the security and stability file, is a brick that can be used to achieve development and rebuilding, wrap up the file of comprehensive national reconciliation, and combat corruption.
