Why Syrian Fighters Remain in Libya
The protest by Syrian fighters in Tripoli reaffirms their ongoing presence in Libya, especially after around 3,000 of them participated since 2019 in the conflict that took place in the capital. Their financial demands, which are believed to include monthly salaries of approximately $2,000, raise concerns about the continuation of their funding and the legitimacy of their presence, particularly given the ambiguity surrounding their sources of financing and the allocated funds. Additionally, their continued presence places an economic and security burden on Libya, as data indicates that spending on the Ministry of Defense amounts to around 4.8 billion dinars annually, without clarification of the costs associated with the foreign fighters. This situation keeps their issue on the security and financial agenda as an open and unresolved matter.
