SOHR: Despite int'l monitors appeal, thousands of Syrian fighters remain in Libya

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Tuesday evening that 6,750 Syrian fighters of Turkish-backed factions are still in Libya.

SOHR added that the operations which have taken place since November were an only change of shifts, as some batches have returned to Syria while other batches have been sent to Libya.

The observatory explained that the presence of foreign mercenaries in Libya continues despite all international demands and the Libyan-Libyan agreement and the end of the deadline given to foreign mercenaries to leave Libya.

According to the Libyan-Libyan agreement, foreign fighters (mercenaries) were supposed to withdraw from Libya within three months after the ceasefire came into force on October 23, 2020.
