Libyan political analyst Ibrahim Al-Suwaiti stated this. The Libyan South has always been an arena for settling scores. These scores are between the Chadian authorities and opposition. This justifies the Libyan National Army’s intervention. Its aim is to prevent security deterioration. This specific area facilitates the smuggling of weapons and irregular migrants.
Al-Suwaiti added in exclusive statements to ‘Erem News’ that the South’s nature involves overlaps. These overlaps are linked to the Chadian conflict. This makes the security situation fragile. It opens the door for smuggling weapons and irregular migrants.
Al-Suwaiti clarified that the recent attack on Al-Touma crossing was a turning point. This marks a shift in the Libyan National Army’s strategy towards the South. It has become essential to launch operations. These operations aim to establish security and stability. This is especially crucial given the vast borders there.
The analyst pointed out that the army can control matters in the South. This is despite challenges from the East and West.
