Serraj appoints military chief of staff
The Presidency Council (PC) has finally appointed a chief of staff to head the Libyan army: Major-General Abdulrahman Al-Tawil. Appointed head of the Temporary Security Committee in January last year, he has in effect been chief of staff ever since. There is, however, no coherent, structured or united Libyan army or airforce as yet for him to head. The Libyan navy is the only section of the armed forces that can be said to be operating under the PC’s command.
