Exclusive: Russian hiring of Syrians to fight in Libya accelerated in May

[Disir]

A Russian drive to recruit Syrians to fight in Libya for militia leader Khalifa Haftar accelerated in May when hundreds of mercenaries were signed up, five Syrian opposition sources and a regional source familiar with the matter said.

Private military contractor Wagner Group is conducting the hiring with Russian army supervision, according to two senior Syrian opposition sources and the regional source. A former Wagner Group member said it first sent Syrians to Libya in 2019.

The Russian Defence Ministry and the Wagner group did not respond to questions from Reuters.

Turkey, meanwhile, says it is providing military support to the other side of the conflict, the internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) based in Tripoli.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in February that fighters from the Turkey-backed Syrian National Army were in Libya, as well as Turkey’s own military.

Russia must want to use the waters there for the Fleet. My brother used to fly there in an Orion...

They used to anchor there and resupply from Libya.........might be wanting that back again due to their limited supply chain in the Med.

Are you sure they're not hiring them for the progressive leaders in the United States cities being burnt to the ground?

Are you talking about the Libya that was once the richest country in Africa, the Libya that was once the freest nation in the Muslim World? The Libya that had no homeless, no unemployment and drivers paid 14 cents a gallon?? The Libya the wicked dictator armed and trained his people to defend their homes and towns against Al Qaeda?The people that were holding their own as could be seen by terrorist over flowing in their prisons? The libya obama looked us in the eye saying he must start his illegal war to save the people against the evil dictator then flying over 6,500 sorties he murders 130,000 of the ones he told us he had to save? That Libya? Small arms don't do much good when cluster bombs and bunker busters are landing on you. Victory to obama scoring his third genocide with his Al Qaeda allies flying their black victory flags across the waste land. How can't you not love this psycho mass killer obama?! Can I get some chantin going?! Bo Oh Zo, Bo Oh Zo. and for the people that made it all possible ,I,,O,,I,
