The spokesman for the Libyan Foreign Ministry of the Government of National Accord (GNA) Mohammed Al-Giblawi said the statements of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi had been fueling conflict in Libya as he claimed to be proposing peace. The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry reminded El-Sisi that the forces under the command of the Government of National Accord were the ones who defeated ISIS terrorists while he (Sisi) is still suffering from what he describes as terrorism in Sinai Peninsula. Al-Giblawi indicated that the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) is the only party allowed to control what happens on Libyan soil, adding that the GNA had always reiterated the desire to enter Sirte without bloodshed. "We're ready to train Libya's tribesmen to build a united national army as we won't sit idly by to watch threats being made to our national security." Sisi added.
