Chief of the General Staff of the Libyan army says we started to make painful blows to terrorist organizations.

Tripoli, 13.08.2015(Lana) Chief of the General Staff of the Libyan army, Maj-Gen Jadalla Al-Abedi underlined that Libyans look forward to building a strong army which is set to protect the homeland in the light of a democratic state with peaceful rotation of power according to the constitution with no interference from the army. Al-Abedi praised members of the armed forces everywhere on the anniversary of the Libyan army, urging all youth of Libya to join the military institution to be soldiers and officers through recruiting and army training channels to renew the blood of this old institution. Al-Abedi said some army leaders are still repeating the same theory of the former regime which ousted the constitutional monarchy and rendered this military institution to serve its own aims and goals, and it is the same matter to which Benghazi is now subjected where the city is destroyed and its population is displaced under the pretext of fighting terrorism in the name of the military institution. He said companies paraded today are regular army units and revolutionaries who joined on individual bases the army institution. This is probably the first building blocks of the force with which we decided to confront the terrorist organizations that started to expand in our country. Al-Abedi said we started to make painful blows to terrorist organizations in Serte and other places to eradicate these bandits, urging the international community to take appropriate stances in support of Libya which is fighting terrorism alone. =Lana=.
