The Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Khalifa Haftar called for distributing Libya’s oil revenues fairly, away from selectivity.
During his meeting with military leaders and officers of the armed forces on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, he called for providing job opportunities for recent graduates. He said that the “role of youth in the renaissance of Libya should not be overlooked.”
Haftar urged for “practical steps to improve the economic and social living conditions, and this requires a fair distribution of the oil wealth, so that the Libyan people can enjoy the bounties of their country, which they were deprived of due to selectivity and mood.”
He stressed that the LNA is “the main pillar of national unity, as there is no homeland without an army. Especially when it is an army that has fought, and is still fighting terrorism and extremism on behalf of the world.”
Haftar added that the “strength of the Libyan army lies in being the army of the homeland, as it was able to strengthen cohesion and interdependence with the people. The army units have reached high levels of craftsmanship and professionalism, in addition to their loyalty to the martyrs.”
“The Libyan National Army remains firm, proud, and supportive of a just judiciary, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, and the defence of building a new, democratic, qualified state of Libya. As well as combating corruption in all its forms, developing the professional capabilities of the armed forces, and contributing steadily to rebuilding what the terrorist cowards destroyed,” he concluded.
On Friday, Haftar participated in the first day of Eid Al-Fitr in Al-Kish Square in Benghazi, in the presence of a large crowd of the city’s youth.
He extended his warmest congratulations to the Libyan people on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr. As well as expressing his warm wishes to the Libyan people, and the Arab and Islamic world.
