Libya sends its Arab League representative to Mecca Summit
The Arab League is holding the summit as an emergency called for by Saudi Arabia to review the ramification of the attacks on Saudi Arabia and the UAE in recent days.
Libya’s Al-Shemakhi arrived Tuesday in Saudi Arabia and was received by royal guards and Saudi officials before going to the summit place.
Al-Sirraj, according to activists and analysts, chose not to attend the Mecca summit himself giving in to calls by many Libyans who see Saudi Arabia as the main backer of Khalifa Haftar’s attack on Tripoli, which has so far killed over 520 people, injured over 2500 and displaced about 80.000 others.
