The Ministry of Interior of Libya's Government of National Unity (GNU) has announced the launch of a strategic plan to enhance security deployment across the capital, Tripoli, for the year 2024.
The initiative unveiled on the ministry's official Facebook page, is designed to bolster stability by reducing the presence of non-state security and military formations, reaffirming Tripoli as a capital of peace and safety.
The ministry outlined that the plan operates on three primary tracks: first, the return of all security and military formations to their main headquarters; second, limiting security presence on roads and at checkpoints to specialized units of the ministry; and third, ensuring that the responsibility for securing public headquarters and state institutions rests solely with the Ministry of Interior.
This strategic move is part of the ministry's broader commitment to upholding the rule of law, safeguarding citizens, and protecting both public and private property. The ministry emphasized that this initiative aims to enhance security, improve the quality of life in the capital, and ensure that Tripoli remains a safe and prosperous city for all its residents.
At a press conference held on Friday, Acting Minister of Interior Imad Al-Tarabulsi addressed the delays in evacuating armed groups from Tripoli, clarifying that the postponements were not due to weakness or lack of effort but were instead aimed at preventing bloodshed.
He also acknowledged the existence of several recognized security agencies operating at the state level, which, although not under the Ministry of Interior, play critical roles in maintaining security.
These include the Deterrence Authority, the Support for Stability Authority, the General Security Agency, Brigade 444, and Brigade 111.
