Aqeela Saleh: Libyan people formally ask Egypt for military intervention if necessary

Aqeela Saleh said in an interview with the official Egyptian news agency, "Middle East News", that in the event of a breach of Sirte, we will request the intervention of the Egyptian armed forces to support the Libyan army, and then the Egyptian intervention will be to protect their rights, explaining that if the militias cross the red line, the Egyptian intervention in Libya will be legally and based on the mandate of the Libyan people, because Egypt protects Libyan national security and at the same time protects its national security by securing its western borders and preventing the militias from advancing to areas that pose a threat to Egypt's security.

Regarding the Libyan National Army's movement from its areas of control in the capital, Tripoli, Aqila Saleh said that when the Libyan National Army moved to Tripoli we were confident in its ability to liberate the capital from the grip of terrorist militias, stressing that the Libyan army was not greedy in power, and only aimed to rid Libyans are militia.

He added that the Libyan army's move from the capital, Tripoli, was correct after Turkey brought more than 15,000 mercenaries to the capital, which was calling for the use of greater force that might harm innocent citizens, so the army's move was in response to international demands for a ceasefire and in line with the initiatives of the international community and that was crystallized in the initiative of the Cairo Declaration announced on the sixth of June, under the auspices of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
