The military official at the Benghazi Shura Council, Wissam Ben Hamid, described the Skhirat agreement that was brokered by the UN to resolve the Libyan political crisis as an implied occupation, adding that they – like all honorable Libyans – reject this implied occupation that is not only clear for grownups but also for little children.
In a an interview with AL Jazeera Net, Hamid said Khalifa Haftar was brought to light to be the western countries’ tool as they have clear intentions of occupying Libya, indicating that Egypt, the UAE, and France are the biggest supporters of Haftar alongside former regime loyalists and Chadian mercenaries as well as Justice and Equality armed groups.
“There many shreds of evidence to prove those facts.” Ben Hamid explained.
He also refuted the accusations of the council being responsible for bombing residential areas in Benghazi, saying though were in full control of those areas, we left them to save the lives and properties of the people since Haftar would never mind ransacking entire blocks to attain his malicious aims.
“If we wanted to shell neighborhoods, we could have done so long ago and Haftar’s forces know we are capable of it just by remembering the time when targeted them with our rockets in the airport.” He told AL Jazeera Net.
He also accused Haftar’s militias of kidnap, torture, murder, and tossing of bodies on the roads, pointing out the confessions made by their top officials like Mohammed Al-Hijazi, Fraj Aqaim and other Dignity Operation leaders.
“Benghazi Shura Council fighters’ morale is stepped up and they are keeping tight grip on their positions, though the airstrikes of the French and UAE warplanes hindered their advance.” Ben Hamid added.
He concluded by saying that the forthcoming days shall reveal to Benghazi residents some joyful news so that they can enjoy a stable secure life in their city once again.
