Spokesman of Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous Operation that ousted ISIS militants from Sirte Brigadier Mohammed Al-Ghosri said there are many reasons for the return of ISIS militants to the scene, most notably the lack of support for the Sirte Protection and Security Force and the failure of the Presidential Council to provide the potentials needed.
In a statement to Tanasuh TV, Al-Ghosri clarified that the lack of support to Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous and the non-payment of salaries, in addition to the Presidential Council’s indifference to their situation resulted in the return of ISIS activity in the south and central parts of the country.
He further noted that proposals had been submitted to the Presidential Council in order to support Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous to launch a new military operation against the remnants of ISIS who fled to the southern region.
Al-Ghosri also said that the U.S Africa Command (Africom) support will be required in the coming operation in the event of the Presidential Council’s approval of these proposals.
