Libyan and international reactions continue to follow the speech made by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during his inspection of the army in the western region adjacent to the Libyan border, during which he stressed that "any direct intervention from Egypt in Libya now has international legitimacy, whether within the framework of the United Nations Charter (right Self-defense), or based on the sole legitimate authority elected by the Libyan people (Parliament).

His speech received support at the Libyan and international levels, as most Arab countries lined up behind Egypt, affirming their full support for Egypt's intervention in Libya and saving it from foreign and mercenary interference.

In this context, the Egyptian journalist writer Mahmoud Basyouni said that al-Sisi's speech is "a sign of a strategic move imposed by developments in Libya on Egypt in particular, with the emergence of Turkish colonial ambitions in the wealth of the Libyan people."

He pointed out that this move was preceded by important indications, foremost of which is Egypt's rejection of Turkey's agreement with the Libyan Accord Government on the demarcation of maritime borders, stressing that this agreement is egregious violation of international law."

Basyouni said in a special statement to ANHA agency that what Sisi presented by reviewing the full readiness of the armed forces to carry out tasks inside and outside the borders of Egypt is a message of deterrence to all parties that are manipulating the Libyan crisis, or that they assume can exploit the world's preoccupation and occupy Libyan lands.

He added, "The speech also gave a signal that Egypt is a rational regional force working for peace, but will not remain silent in the face of any threat to its national security." He considered the letter a message of warning to all parties that Turkey's persistence in threatening Libya will push the region into conflicts. Violent threat to security and regional peace. "

The Egyptian writer stressed that Egypt will not move in the Libyan file without support from international legitimacy and international law, first because there is a direct threat to its national security that al-Sisi identified from the Sirte-al-Jafra line, and that the legitimacy of the action will be derived from a council Libyan representatives are the only elected and legitimate entity in Libya and support for the Libyan tribes.

He pointed out that the speech stressed that Egypt will address any new colonial projects that depend on mercenaries, terrorists and the power of weapons, and that it will be a partner in imposing calm and stability and rebuilding the Libyan international institutions after reaching a ceasefire, which means Egypt adheres to the political solution as a strategic choice, guaranteeing that all Libyan parties be represented in the solution.

Basyouni pointed out that Egypt was biased from the first moment to a political solution and was supportive of the elected and legitimate Libyan state institutions such as the Libyan Parliament, and the Cairo Declaration was a last attempt to search for peace and not to resort to military force, but Turkey's insistence on resolving the crisis through armed militias and elements Terrorist mercenaries that took them from Syria in full view of the world forced Egypt to take action to protect its western borders and strategic depth from the threats of those terrorist elements.

He continued: "The military parade carried out by Egypt was a message to the Turkish Ottoman project that it will not pass in Libya, and that Egypt will not meet Turkey's asylum in its armed forces without a decisive military response that preserves the Egyptian national security and that Egypt will not leave Libya and the Libyans to be like orphans, just as the relationship between Libya and Egypt allows the armed forces to move to protect the Libyan people. Libyan forces participated in the October war to liberate the Sinai and Libya was supportive of Egypt in liberating its land from the Israeli aggression, and Egypt announced by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi that it believes that the liberation of Libya will not take place without the Libyans themselves, and that Egypt will not delay the call of the Libyan people.

At the end of his speech, the Egyptian journalist confirmed that there is a complete detour from the Egyptian people behind their political leadership in taking any action to protect Egyptian national security.
