Libya’s Bashagha says he supports removal of foreign fighters

LONDON - Libya’s parliament-appointed Prime Minister Fathi Bashagha said yesterday his government supported removing all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya, guided by a committee set up to safeguard a ceasefire after the 2014-2020 conflict.

In an interview in London, where Bashagha is trying to drum up support for his government to take over in Tripoli, the leader said he was a “big supporter” of the 5+5 committee which agreed foreign fighters should be expelled. – REUTERS.
