Tripoli, 19 September 2014:
Libya Dawn has said that it has launched a “security branch” to secure Tripoli and its . . .[restrict]administration buildings and that it is now safe for foreign embassies and businesses to return.
In a statement released yesterday by Libya Dawn spokesman Ahmad Hadia, the Misrata-led group of brigades invited the diplomatic community to return to a “secure” Tripoli, emphasising that “now” is the time for dialogue in order to reach a comprehensive national reconciliation.
Hadia emphasized that any dialogue had to be among Libyans and Libyans only, not subject to foreign interference in any way.
“We wish to underline the fact that we did not and will not fight for the government in Tobruk, and are therefore not obligated to negotiate with it,” Hadia went on to say.
Libya Dawn rejects the exclusion of “revolutionaries” from the political scene, Hadia added, especially after the sacrifices they had made to bring about the current post-revolution “government” of Omar Al-Hassi.
Calling for an end to “political bias” in relation to the Central Bank of Libya, whose Chairman Saddek Elkaber was removed by the Tobruk-based House of Representatives last week, the Libya Dawn spokesman said that those elected to the HoR had to cooperate with the General National Congress as laid out by the Constitutional Declaration.
Hadia also called on HoR members to state their position regarding the air strikes by “foreign” planes on Tripoliand Gharian.
“We call on the members of the House of Representatives to apologise to the Libya Dawn revolutionaries,” Hadia demanded. “They have been the victims of offensive and unjust name calling”. [/restrict]
