The Council would, therefore, be responsible for all the losses recorded by the Libyan people, amounting to some $2 billion a year, he said. Despite the Council’s reiteration of its commitment to helping the Libyan people protect their wealth, there was a contradiction between words and deeds, which did not help build the Council’s credibility in the Libyan people’s eyes.
While expressing satisfaction at the national Government’s return of the capital, Tripoli, he emphasized, however, that Libya would not have peace and security until a legitimate Government could operate in a secure environment. The Government’s return was a critical step towards countering the presence of armed militias in the capital, which had made “hell” of people’s everyday lives.
Urging all groups, as well as the Libyan people to support the Government of National Accord in facing the criminal militia trying to undermine Tripoli’s security through terrorist acts, he called upon all army and police officers to return to work on the basis of instructions from the Presidential Council.
Those who tried to weaken the political process were trying to question the legitimacy of the Presidential Council and the Government of National Accord, he said, stressing that the Presidential Council and the Assembly of Deputies must work to convene an assembly of the people to endorse the Government.
