Old alliances die hard. #Germany 's Owcza was silent when #Turkey built airstrip in the Banana Project residential zone+when they turned Mitiga into a military+mercenary base. Seems his actual concern is for the ability of genocidal militias+mercenaries to keep killing #Libya |ns

We share the concern and anger and join @UNSMIL in condemning these attacks, reportedly committed by LNA affiliated forces. Who willingly endangers civilian lives violates humanitarian law and acts against the unity of Libyan people.
