Libya and Algeria slam Turkish arms shipments | Ahval
Dec 24 2018

Libyan and Algerian officials denounced Turkey's recent arms shipments to a Libyan port near the Algerian border as a “declaration of war”, the London-based pan-Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported on Monday.

The purpose of these shipments is to destabilise Libya and send an arsenal to unstable regions, an Algerian security official said, according to Asharq al-Awsat.

So, some people are saying, Turkey sent these weapons, not long after, an ISIS attack in Libya.  Is this the Turkey we are confiding in as a partner?
