Libya: All Benghazi militia will be under National Army control, others to be disbanded
All brigades in Benghazi are to come under full control of the National Army, following an agreement that was struck between leading political and military figures together with local militia heads last night.
Officers from the Army are to be deployed to every militia barracks in Benghazi to assume full command, whilst several of the brigades involved in recent unrest, including Ansar Al-Sharia, are to be disbanded altogether.
“The objective is to bring the militia under full control of the government”, said Ahmed Shalabi, official spokesman to Prime Minister-elect Mustafa Abushagur.
“We want to see them inside the law, not outside of the law”.
