Pulbished on:

Tripoli, August 9, 2026 (LANA) – The Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives and Supreme Commander of the Libyan Army, Aguila Saleh, stated that building a strong, qualified, and unified national army is a national necessity to safeguard Libya's sovereignty, protect its borders and resources, and achieve the security and stability of its people.

In a statement issued on the 86th anniversary of the army's founding, Saleh affirmed that the Libyan army has been and will remain a comprehensive national institution, a fundamental pillar of the state, and an impregnable fortress against dangers and challenges.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives stressed in his statement that the current stage requires all of us to adhere to national unity and to refrain from anything that could weaken state institutions or undermine the unity of the military establishment. He called on everyone to work with a spirit of national responsibility to build a strong and stable state in which the army is a comprehensive national institution, loyal to God and then to the nation, and whose mission is to protect Libya, its people, and its sovereignty.

Saleh extended his greetings and appreciation to all officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the Libyan Arab Armed Forces, in their various locations and units, who perform their national duty with honor and dedication, proving every day that belonging to the military institution is an honor, a responsibility, and a sacrifice, and that protecting the homeland is not merely a task, but a covenant and commitment to Libya and its people.

In his statement, the Speaker of the House of Representatives said that the sacrifices of the martyrs of the Armed Forces will remain a guiding light for us all, and their sacrifices will remain immortal in the conscience of the Libyan people, a testament to the greatness of belonging to the homeland and the sanctity of the duty to defend it.

He pointed out that since its founding, the history of the military institution has been intertwined with the history of the nation, and its men throughout the decades have been the epitome of courage, discipline, and sacrifice, a shield protecting the homeland, its sovereignty, security, and stability.
