The Tripoli based Libyan government claimed last Wednesday (11 September) that 64 government headquarters in the municipalities of Hay al-Andalus and Tripoli Centre were handed over (by state recognised militias) to the Ministry of Interior to secure them.

It said this is part of the so-called ‘‘Capital of Peace’’ plan launched by the Tripoli based Libyan Ministry of Interior to organise police security deployment in Tripoli through the Supreme Committee for Security Arrangements.

Formation of the Supreme Committee for Security Arrangements It will be recalled that on 24 August Tripoli based Libyan ‎Prime Minister, Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba issued Decree No. 379 stipulating the formation of the Supreme Committee for Security Arrangements, headed by Acting Interior Minister Imad Trabelsi.

The Supreme Committee for Security Arrangements is to undertake several tasks, including supervising the withdrawal and return of security and military agencies and brigades (state recognised militias) to their headquarters.‎

Interior Ministry’s strategic plan to organise police security deployment in Tripoli In the same vein, the said Interior Ministry had announced the launch of its strategic plan to organise police security deployment in the capital, Tripoli, for the year 2024.

The Ministry had said the plan aims to enhance security and stability in the city by emptying it of security and military formations (militias) and ensuring that Tripoli is the capital of peace and security for all.

3-point strategic plan The ministry had explained that its deployment plan works on 3 tracks:

The first of which is the return of security (militias) and military formations to their main headquarters and the handover of sub-headquarters to their previous institutions.

Secondly, that security checkpoints on the roads are exclusively for the relevant components of the Ministry of Interior.

Thirdly, that the tasks of securing public headquarters are entrusted exclusively to the Ministry of Interior.

The ministry stressed that this step comes within the framework of its commitment to strengthening the rule of law, protecting citizens and public and private property, enhancing security and stability, improving the quality of life, and making Tripoli a safe and prosperous city for all its residents.
