Shura Council hails Egypt’s pivotal role
TDT | Manama
The Shura Council has backed Egypt’s right to protect its western borders from terrorism and maintain Libya’s territorial integrity. Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security Committee chairman Dr Abdulaziz bin Abdulaziz Al Ajman hailed Egypt’s pivotal role, which stems from the Arab League Defence Treaty.
Dr Al Ajman stressed the stance taken by the Egyptian Parliament, which mandated President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to intervene in Libya to stop Turkey from interfering in Arab affairs and destabilising Libya’s security. “The stance is in line with the call of the Libyan Parliament and tribal leaders, urging Egypt to intervene militarily and protect their people and country from the Turkish blatant interference,” said Dr Al Ajman.
He described military intervention as a necessity to stop Turkish interference and restore Libya’s security, based on the principles of Arab nationalism, as Libya is an integral part of Egypt’s security and stability and pan-Arab security
