SOHR: Turkey is sending more Syrian mercenaries to Libya

Turkey has sent a new batch of Syrian mercenaries to Libya, despite local and international demands for the withdrawal of all foreign forces in the run-up to the December 24 parliamentary and presidential elections.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said 150 mercenaries from the pro-Ankara Libyan National Army, including the Al-Majd Corps, Sultan Murad and al-Hamza divisions, arrived in Tripoli on Friday.

The group was sent to replace 140 mercenaries who left Libya and returned to Syria.

The war monitoring has accused the Turkish government of deceiving Syrian, regional and international public opinion about Libya.

Currently, there are about 7,000 mercenaries from armed groups loyal to Turkey in Libya, 2,000 of whom have been ordered to return home. According to the observatory, they intend to keep some of them there to protect Turkish bases.
