The commander-in-chief of the Libyan army, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, said that the political track has been given too much to reach its goal of holding presidential and parliamentary elections.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

This came in a speech on Thursday, during the celebration of the tenth anniversary of “Operation Dignity” in Benghazi, in the presence of Speaker of the House of Representatives Aguila Saleh and a number of military and political leaders in the Eastern Province.

"Despite major achievements at the military and security levels, and in the areas of development and construction, the political track has remained stagnant, if not regressive, with meetings followed by meetings, delegations going and coming, loud statements followed by louder statements, and outputs stuffed with lies and empty promises, which do not fatten or sing from hunger," Haftar said.

"We believe that we have given this path of opportunities too much, to reach its goal of holding presidential and parliamentary elections, in which the people have the final say," Haftar added.

"This is a very carefully planned approach, so that the situation remains as it is, and precious time passes without making any progress," Haftar said.

Haftar pointed out that what he called "extremists who are enemies of freedom and democracy, who dream of installing themselves as guardians of the people, have sworn with the strongest faith that the Field Marshal will only run on their corpses", considering this evidence of "recognition of failure and popular rejection of them".

This came on the sidelines of the forum held from 14 to 19 May, in which a delegation from eastern Libya will participate, which also includes four ministers from the government of eastern Libya, namely: Abdul Hadi Huwaij, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ali Al-Saadi Qaidi, Minister of Investment, Awad Badri, Minister of Electric Energy and Renewable Energy, in addition to Faraj Khalil Salem, Minister of Technical Education.

Libya's investment minister announced that his country is ready to enter into an agreement with the Russian company, while the Libyan-based company has expressed interest in the project.

"Russia has a lot of crude oil, but now its supplies are difficult due to sanctions and embargoes, and this can be solved by a refinery that is being built in Libya and crude oil is transported to it and then oil derivatives are sold," the minister said.

"We had negotiations on this issue, and they found the idea interesting," he said, adding that the Russian company could also use the oil already in Libya to recharge and process it. "We have incredible reserves," the Libyan minister said, expressing hope that the agreement would be reached.
