Efforts to get more

During a joint press conference with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Najla Al-Manqoush, stated that the news is true, noting that there are efforts to bring out larger numbers, as she put it.

In addition, she stressed that the government is still working on a larger and comprehensive organization for the exit of mercenaries.

It is worth noting that since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime and his death in 2011, Libya has plunged into civil war, security chaos and political division, especially between the east and west of the country, and local militias, foreign mercenaries and extremist groups have participated in the fighting.

While the United Nations formed a temporary unity government last March, headed by Abdel Hamid Dabaiba, to manage the transitional period, leading to the presidential and legislative elections scheduled for December 24, the dispute over the electoral law dealt a blow to the UN-backed settlement efforts to get out of the crisis.
