Egypt reopens embassy in Libya’s Tripoli after 12-year closure

Tripoli, Lebanon ·

Egypt's foreign ministry said in a statement that the embassy was reopened on Saturday after a 12-year absence. The move signals rapprochement with the western-based administration, a shift for Cairo, which has been a prominent backer of eastern-based commander Khalifa Haftar.

Libya has been split between rival administrations since 2014, and Egypt has been a key backer of eastern-based commander Khalifa Haftar.
