Despite all international calls to stop transferring mercenaries to Libya, the latest of which is the American call to withdraw all mercenaries from the countries that have been exhausted by war for years, Turkey continues to pump the mercenaries of the Libyan Government of National Accord.

In this context, sources reported on Sunday that a cargo plane coming from Turkey with mercenaries on board landed in the city of Misurata, according to Al-Arabiya network.

The website "Itamilradar", which specializes in tracking air traffic, also indicated that a Turkish military plane landed today at Misurata airport, coming from Gaziantep.

It is likely that a new batch of Syrian mercenaries will be on board that flight, as Turkey is setting up training camps in this city to prepare mercenaries before transferring them to Libya, to participate in the ongoing battles there, according to what was revealed by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Libyan army had previously confirmed that Turkey is still pushing more mercenaries and military equipment to Libya, pointing out that it has begun to turn Misurata into a base to manage its operations and to launch towards the Oil Crescent region, and has taken vital facilities in the city to concentrate armed militias.
