Hussein Bin Attia, the mayor of Tajoura municipality in the capital, Tripoli, says: “Suspicious activities are taking place and facilities are being provided to attract Libyan youths to go to Ukraine to fight against Russia.”
And sources in Tripoli monitored, within the propaganda used to attract these people, allegations promoted by the terrorist Brotherhood that Russia “contributed to the aggression against Tripoli and the killing of Libyans.”
Targeting Syrian and Libyan fighters
According to the retired military analyst, Brigadier General Mahmoud bin Saleh, this news has been frequent since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, but he saw that the targets for recruitment, according to the information, are fighters who arrived in Libya from terrorist factions who came from Syria.
In an interview with “Sky News Arabia,” Bensalah added, “Efforts have been monitored to transfer them to Ukraine to engage in the war against Russia, under old names used in Libya and Azerbaijan.”
Bin Saleh explained to the website that, according to what was published by the Violations Documentation Center in northern Syria, more than one meeting of terrorist faction leaders was held in the areas of Azaz and Afrin in the northern countryside of Aleppo, the last of which was on March 2.
And the leaders of terrorist groups participated in the meeting, and they learned to prepare lists of names for members of the Hamzah Division, Sultan Murad, Legion al-Sham, Suleiman Shah Division, known as “Amshat”, Ahrar al-Sharqiya, and Corps of Glory; In preparation for their transfer to Ukraine to fight against Russia.
Two reasons behind it
For his part, political analyst Salah al-Din al-Jama`a believes that sending fighters from Libya, whether from foreign mercenaries or Libyan fighters, is very possible, due to the fact that the matter goes in two directions, the first is to get rid of foreign fighters, who currently number in the thousands in western Libya,
The second is an attempt to reduce the number of Libyan elements belonging to extremist currents, such as the Brotherhood and the Libyan Fighting Group.
Talks between the Libyan, regional and international parties to find a solution to the Libyan crisis are encountering obstacles, the most important of which is the presence of foreign fighters and the presence of extremist Libyan militias. For “Sky News Arabia”.
Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, propaganda has been circulating to recruit mercenaries to fight on both sides, although eyes have focused in particular on the recruitment of Syrian mercenaries.
In addition to the aforementioned attempts to recruit fighters with Ukraine against Russia, Russia, in turn, announced its acceptance of Syrian fighters going to fight alongside it against Ukraine.
Multiple confiscations indicate the tendency to recruit mercenaries who fought in Libya and elsewhere, and to prepare lists of names of those wishing to fight alongside the Russian forces, and that recruitment operations targeted the cities of the coast and southern Syria, as well as the Damascus countryside.
