Member of Libya’s Presidential Council Musa al-Kouni said his country was an “occupied” nation after his plane was barred from flying over the Brak air base, which is controlled by Russian forces.
He noted that head of the Government of National Unity (GNU) Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah's plane was also prevented from flying the near the base.
Russian “occupying forces” are preventing the head of state from flying over a Libya airport, said Kouni.
“We have no sovereignty over our territories,” he lamented, noting that the Khadim, al-Jufra, Brak and Ghardabiya are being used by Russian forces “and no one knows what they are doing there.”
He also noted the deployment of Turkish forces in the al-Khoms and al-Watiya bases.
Given this situation, the Presidential Council effectively has no power, while the military forces are the ones in control, remarked Kouni.
