Elchiko ... one of the most dangerous mercenaries

The accounts of the Libyan protesters and activists circulated the image of "the terrorist Muhammad Yusuf Al-Said" from the demonstrations square, as Brigadier General of the Libyan Army Khaled Al-Mahjoub confirmed to Al-Arabiya Network, its authenticity.

Al-Mahjoub said: “Muhammad Yusuf al-Sayd, nicknamed“Elchiko”, is considered one of the most dangerous extremist leaders that fought in Syria within what is known as the armed group Liwa al-Ummah affiliated with ISIS, which was founded by the Libyan terrorist Mahdi al-Harati, and included Libyan and Syrian fighters, and he took rural Idlib a headquarter for himself, before returning to Libya, and joining the "Al-Baqara" brigade loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood, which includes in its ranks terrorist and criminal elements, and was involved in the attack on Mitiga airport in the capital, Tripoli, and led an attack on Maitika prison to smuggle detained terrorist elements. "

Demonstrators in the cities of western Libya are preparing to march out for the fourth consecutive day to protest against the deterioration of their living conditions, the decline in public services in the country, and the spread of corruption.

Many Libyans hold GNA responsible for the deterioration of their living conditions, the deterioration of their daily lives, and the exacerbation of corruption, due to its preoccupation with defending its survival, and the control of armed groups with their joints and their control over state institutions.

For months, the cities of western Libya have been experiencing a suffocating crisis due to the frequent power cuts and the poor supply of water, in addition to delayed salaries, as well as the spread of garbage in the capital's streets, in addition to the high prices, which made people find it increasingly difficult to provide for their basic needs in their daily lives.

Turkey has sent more than 17,000 mercenaries from the areas it occupies in Idlib to Libya in order to fight alongside the Government of National Accord to serve Turkish interests.
