Libya names new head of armed forces‎
Libya's new military chief of staff, General Youssef Mangoush, set out his priorities for the future of the country's army on Saturday.  

Speaking to reporters in the capital, Tripoli, General Youssef Mangoush said the country's fledgling military faces huge obstacles, including rebuilding its bases and purchasing new equipment.  

He discussed the importance of protecting the desert nation's vast borders and helping disarm thousands of former rebels who took part in the overthrow of the country's former leader Moammar Gadhafi.  

He added that the army looks set to be reorganized"We're integrating the rebels and reactivating the army units now the fighting is over," he explained.   He praised the strength and resolution of the army, looking forward to a positive future.  

"There are honorable soldiers, staff sergeants and officers within the army and they enable it to rise back up and heal its wounds, and be ready on time," he said.
