On Thursday, Jamal Shalouf, head of the Silvium Foundation for Studies and Research in Libya, Turkey continues to establish a military air bridge with the militias in Libya and continues to operate flights to transport mercenaries and weapons to support them.

 

In a  statement, Shalouf said that the Turkish Airbus A400M military cargo plane, code 221, was detected on Wednesday evening, when it landed at the Misurata Airport.

 

He revealed that this flight is considered the 33rd violation since the Libyan Military Committee signed the 5 + 5 ceasefire agreement in Geneva.

 

Turkey continues to violate the arms embargo imposed by the United Nations on Libya since 2011, as it provides great support to the Tripoli government with equipment and mercenaries to confront the Libyan National Army.

 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced, in mid-November, that the total of mercenaries sent by Turkey to Libya amounted to 18,000 Syrians and Tunisians, including 350 children.
