Tripoli, 11 November 2013:
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan arrived at Benghazi’s Benina Airport this morning as part of an unannounced . . .[restrict]visit to discuss the security crisis in the east of the country.
Discussions were predominantly between Zeidan, the Commander of Benghazi Special Forces Wanis Bukhamada and the Commander of Benina Air Defence helicopter squadron Abd Nasser Bousnina, who thwarted a kidnap attempt on Friday night.
Zeidan arrived shortly after 9 am and discussions were still ongoing at 2 pm, spokesman for Benghazi Joint Security Room (BJSR), Abdullah Zaidi, told the Libya Herald.
The meeting focused on the latest developments related to the current security crisis in Benghazi, Zaidi said, and reviewing the most urgent action needed for the maintenance of security.
“Our demands are clear and known in advance,” Zaidi said. “We need to be able to rely on the army and police to provide security and safety, which have become the biggest concern for the people of Benghazi.”
The meeting was also attended by a number of BJSR officers, Culture Minister Habib Al-Amin and a number of Benghazi elders and members of civil society organisations. [/restrict]
