Has Turkey Given its Orders to Syrian Mercenaries in Libya to Return?
[LIBYAREVIEW] Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian fighters in Libya have been informed to pack up and prepare themselves to return to Syria. These orders came from the Ottoman Turkish government, reliable sources told the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on Friday.This development comes in light of Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...

those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
the return of groups of Syrian mercenaries was suspended since mid-November 2020. On February 13th, SOHR sources reported that the return of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries was completely suspended. Some of these mercenaries in Libya confirmed that they were not asked to prepare to return.

The SOHR noted that 6,750 Syrian fighters of Ottoman Turkish-backed factions maintained in Libya, and the operations which took place since November were only change of shifts, as some groups returned to Syria while other groups were sent to Libya.

The presence of foreign mercenaries in Libya has continued despite all international demands, the Libyan-Libyan agreement and the passing of the deadline given to foreign mercenaries to leave Libya. According to the Libyan-Libyan agreement, imported muscle (mercenaries) were supposed to withdraw from Libya within three months after the ceasefire came into force on October 23rd, 2020.

According to SOHR statistics, the number of recruits who arrived in Libya approximated 18,000 Syrian mercenaries, including 350 children under the age of 18, of whom 10,750 returned to Syria after completing the duration of their contracts and receiving their financial dues. While the number of jihadists who were transported from Syria to Libya reached 10,000, of whom 2,500 were Tunisians.
