NNA - Former MP Misbah al-Ahdab wrote a series of tweets on Saturday, in which he said: “The security chaos in the city of Tripoli is increasing daily, covered by some state politicians and apparatuses...The policy of treating a city in which 700,000 citizens of different sects reside as if it were a hotbed for terrorists, and implicating its youth with security files after flooding them with license weapons, and using them for dirty work to strike the city has become a scandalous policy that must cease immediately...”

He added: "Instead of the security services protecting the political system that has led  the country to bankruptcy and brought the pensions of security personnel and employees to less than $100, they must protect the lives and livelihoods of citizens, and put an end to this security chaos hitting Tripoli and claiming the lives of its youth...."

Al-Ahdab wondered about the absent role of the prime minister, the interior minister and the deputies of Tripoli in rising to the rescue of the city and its people.

He stressed that "all necessary measures must immediately be taken to seize the state of loose weapons prevailing in the city and put an end to the security chaos that is destroying Tripoli." He also warned all political and security parties that previously played the blood game in Tripoli to stay away from any sectarian strife that would return the cycle of violence to the city in implementation of their foreign agendas.

"The country is on the verge of a huge collapse and playing with fire will burn the whole country," cautioned al-Ahdab.
