The Speaker of the Libyan Parliament Aguila Saleh called on Egypt to militarily intervene to protect his country, take a courageous stance and put an end to the Libyan crisis.
This statement came during his visit to Egypt, accompanying a senior delegation, to meet with his Egyptian counterpart Dr. Ali Abdel-Aal.
Aguila co-chaired the parliament’s plenary session, confirming the support of Egypt for the decisions taken by the Libyan parliament, especially towards the Turkish potential interference in Libya.
During the meeting, Abdel-Aal confirmed Egypt’s firm stance on the Libyan crisis, adding, “if there are disagreements upon two governments, there is one army that is the Libyan National Army.” He also urged the Arab tribes in the neighboring country to back the Libyan National Army.
He added that Egypt will not fail to support the Libyan brotherly people to restore the principle of the national state and its institutions against any extremist ideas adopted by militias and armed terrorist groups that are supported by some countries hostile to the whole Arab region.
He stressed that the Libyan national security is closely related to Egypt, especially in light of political geography that binds the two countries.
Abdel-Aal also went to say that Egypt hopes that Libya will be able to take over all challenges facing it, praising the national army’s role in protecting the country against any foreign aggression.
The parliament speaker also stressed Egypt's firm stance towards the Libyan crisis, calling for respecting the Libyan people’s will and the need to reach a political solution that paves the return to security and stability and preserves the unity and sovereignty of Libya and the integrity of its lands and people
On Wednesday, Aguila will also participate in the Arab Parliament (AP) meeting as the AP will address the recent developments of the Iraqi and the Libyan crisis.
