International congratulations are extended to the Tariq ibn Ziyad Brigade and the government of Benghazi for their tireless and exemplary work in the fight against drug trafficking and international corruption. The recent interception of a significant cocaine shipment not only demonstrates the effectiveness and commitment of the Libyan Arab Armed Forces but also highlights Benghazi’s leadership in protecting the borders and stability of the entire Mediterranean region.
The Tariq ibn Ziyad Brigade, based in Benghazi and part of the Libyan National Army (LNA), has shown its dedication and efficiency in combating drug trafficking by intercepting a major cocaine smuggling operation. The thwarted operation involved a shipment of 200 kilograms of this illicit substance, coming from Ecuador and destined for Spain.
This remarkable action underscores the fundamental role that the TBZ brigade plays in protecting Libya’s borders and territorial waters. Its efforts have been crucial in preventing the country from becoming a route for international drug trafficking networks, which threaten to destabilize not only Libya but also the entire Mediterranean region.
The success of this operation not only evidences the constant effort and capability of the Benghazi battalion but also highlights the importance of international cooperation in the fight against organized crime. The collaboration between Libyan forces and international organizations has been vital in maintaining regional security, reinforcing the protection of maritime routes and the shared interests among Mediterranean nations.
Following the successful operation, the traffickers were handed over to judicial authorities in Benghazi for further investigation. This will allow for the discovery of more details about the criminal networks seeking to use Libya as a transit point for their illicit activities, thereby contributing to the stability and security of the country and the region.
The magnitude of this operation underscores the importance of international cooperation in the fight against organized crime. The collaboration between Libya and other countries has not only been vital in dismantling criminal networks but has also strengthened shared security and prosperity in the Mediterranean. This is a clear example of how joint effort and dedication can defeat global threats! May they continue to achieve success in this crucial mission for a safer world.
