Egypt urges Algeria to exclude some faces from the Libyan dialogue

Egyptian authorities rushed to call upon Algeria in order to save its men in Libya, who are at the mercy of the UN Security Council’s sanctions, due to their involvement in the obstruction of negotiations that are sponsored by the United Nations and which Algeria hosted its last stations before it reaches Morocco today.

This case was raised in Cairo meeting, on Sunday, which brought together the Minister of Maghreb and African affairs, and the Arab League, Abdelkader Messahel, with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, and the Italian Foreign Minister, Paulo Gentilioni.

Spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Badr Abdelati, said that Shoukry and Messahel addressed, during the meeting, “the continued coordination between the two countries about the situation in Libya as they are neighboring states with geographical vicinity with Libya.”

This meeting, even when it is set by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry in the context of “consultation and coordination” between the two countries, but it has other goals, in the forefront providing protection for Egyptian men in Libya, particularly after the proposal of four countries, namely the United States, France, Britain and Spain to impose sanctions on the pro-Libyan parties to Egypt, for involvement in fueling the internal fighting in Libya.

As the matter comes here to Abderahman Souihli who is president of a political party that is loyal to the government which embodied from the dissolved House of Representatives, and which took from Tobruk its base, as well as the leader of the militia from Zintan tribe named Othman Melikta, after accusing it of obstructing the negotiations between the Libyan parties.
