30% hike in salary to control the rebellion among Syrian mercenaries

 Turkey, Qatar and Libya have decided on a 30 percent increase in the salaries of Syrian mercenaries who are being sent to Libya to fight. This move is an attempt to control any possible rebellion among the Syrian fighters that may lead them to leave the country.

In a Qatari attempt seeking to satisfy the armed factions and fear splits in the militia ranks, Qatar’s defense minister Khaled Al-Attiyah and his counterpart Hulusi Akar met in Tripoli, Libya’s capital city to discuss on the matters regarding military, security operations and existing defense capabilities of GNA. 

In what is being labeled as a secret meeting, The Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez Al-Sarraj welcomed Defence Ministers, and their accompanying delegations. In information revealed by the sources, it was GNA that had asked for stronger military support from the two countries. This led the three involved nations into deciding that will increase the military support for the Tripoli based government.

Undersecretary of the Defence Ministry, Salah Al-Deen Al-Namroush is then believed to have requested for a salary raise to keep the Syrian mercenaries in control. He made them understand that given the current situation of revolt and social media targeting Ankara over less payment, it is better for them to pay their way off.

He wanted to confirm their presence in the fight by giving them more money and control of the matter before it turned into a widespread protest.

On Monday, Libya’s defense minister announced that his country has agreed on a tripartite deal with Turkey and Qatar for military cooperation that will boost the capabilities of the Libyan military. There had been reports earlier that Qatar has been training Syrian troops who were deceived into believing that they are being taken away from the war zone while they were being pushed into one.
