Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia revive Libya talks amid western fragility
The foreign ministers of Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia met in Cairo on Saturday to reactivate a trilateral mechanism focused on Libya, amidst concerns over the evolving situation and fragility in the west of the country. Badr Abdelatty, Egypt's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigration, hosted the meeting. He was joined by Ahmed Attaf, Minister of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, and Mohamed Ali Nafti, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tunisian Republic. The discussions centred on developments in Libya, joint coordination on the unfolding situation, and a shared desire to exchange views and assessments to support Libya at this critical time. The trilateral mechanism involving Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia was initially launched in 2017 and became inactive in 2019. The Cairo meeting signalled the reactivation of this joint initiative, stemming from the three nations' commitment to supporting security and stability in Libya. Minister Abdelatty emphasised the 'special relationship that binds Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia with the sisterly state of Libya and the depth of historical ties, human connections, and intertwined interests between the three countries and Libya.' He pointed to the 'priority that the Libyan file represents for the national security of Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia as direct neighbouring countries to Libya,' stressing the 'necessity of providing support for efforts aimed at launching a political process to settle the crisis in Libya.' The Egyptian Foreign Minister outlined the parameters of Egypt's position on the developments in Libya, which supports a 'Libyan-Libyan solution path without dictations or external interference or bypassing the role of Libyan national institutions, leading to the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections simultaneously.' He underscored the 'importance of respecting the unity and territorial integrity of Libya and keeping it away from external interference, supporting the efforts of the United Nations in communicating with all spectrums of the Libyan people, and the need to concert international efforts to enforce relevant UN resolutions regarding the withdrawal of all foreign forces, mercenaries, and foreign fighters from Libya, in a way that contributes to restoring security and stability.' Regarding recent developments in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, the three ministers agreed on the importance of maintaining security and stability throughout all Libyan territories, safeguarding the state's resources and national institutions, and respecting the unity and integrity of Libya. They called for preserving peace, renouncing violence, and upholding the Libyan national interest above all considerations. They affirmed their commitment to continue working with regional and international partners to provide assistance and all forms of support to Libya and to work towards ensuring the security and safety of its people. In a final communique, the ministers stated that their meeting in Cairo on 31 May 2025, held within the framework of historical and fraternal ties and a shared destiny with Libya, and stemming from the sincere determination of their respective leaderships, served to resume the trilateral neighbouring countries' mechanism to discuss the latest developments and push towards the desired political solution in Libya. In light of the serious developments and evolving security situation in Tripoli, the communique detailed that the ministers renewed their call to all Libyan parties to exercise utmost restraint and immediately halt any escalation to ensure the safety of the Libyan people. The ministers stressed the importance of upholding the interests of the Libyan people, preserving their resources and properties, and achieving consensus among all Libyan parties, under the supervision and support of the United Nations and with the assistance of neighbouring countries. This, they stated, should lead to endingthe division and moving forward with the political process towards unifying institutions and holding parliamentary and presidential elections simultaneously. The communique further emphasised the necessity of expediting a solution to the Libyan crisis and ending political division to avoid further escalation, the spread of violence and terrorism, and the widening of the conflict, affirming that Libya's security is integral to the security of its neighbours. The ministers reiterated the need for full Libyan ownership of the political process, stating that the solution must be Libyan-Libyan, emanating from the will and consensus of all components of the Libyan people, with UN support and assistance, and in a manner that considers the interests of all Libyans without exclusion. The ministers, through the communique, affirmed their rejection of all forms of external interference in Libya, which they said would fuel internal tension and prolong the crisis, thereby threatening security and stability in Libya and neighbouring countries. They also stressed the need to continue supporting the efforts of the Joint Military Committee (5+5) to consolidate the existing ceasefire, ensure the withdrawal of all foreign forces, foreign fighters, and mercenaries within a specified timeframe, and reunify military and security institutions, in full harmony with ongoing efforts within UN, African, Arab, and Mediterranean frameworks. Finally, the ministers agreed to continue coordination among the three countries and the United Nations to assess the situation in Libya and exchange views on the future of the Libyan political scene and how to cooperate to achieve security, stability, and development in the region. The foreign ministers of Tunisia and Algeria expressed their sincere thanks to Egypt for hosting the meeting at this critical time and for the warm reception and generous hospitality. The communique concluded by stressing the need to hold periodic meetings of the trilateral neighbouring countries' mechanism, with the next ministerial meeting planned to be held in Algeria, followed by another in Tunisia, before the end of the current year.

Abou El-Enein Foundation Distributes 250,000 Kilos of Eid Meat Nationwide
By Ahmad El-Assasy Quarter-million kilos of Qurbani meat to reach vulnerable families in nationwide charity campaign The Abou El-Enein Foundation for Social and Cultural Development continues its large-scale humanitarian campaign to distribute Eid al-Adha meat across all Egyptian governorates, in partnership with the National Alliance for Civil Development Work. The campaign, which began nearly a month ago, aims to distribute a total of 250,000 kilograms of high-quality meat to low-income and vulnerable families as part of the foundation's ongoing social support efforts. Each day, as festive chants and spiritual celebrations of Eid fill the air, families gather at the foundation's main centres in Giza, Ard El-Lewa, and other governorates across the country to receive their share of 'Eid meat.' All sacrificial animals are carefully selected from premium Egyptian cattle breeds of medium weight. Slaughtering, processing, and packaging are carried out under strict health and quality standards, operating around the clock to ensure meat safety and freshness upon delivery. The campaign is powered by a large network of dedicated volunteers and foundation staff, who have worked tirelessly for months — without breaks or holidays — to prepare for the initiative. Their efforts are directly guided by Mohamed Abou El-Enein, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the Foundation, alongside Somaya Abou El-Enein, Vice-Chair of the Foundation. Emphasis has been placed on welcoming recipients with dignity, streamlining the distribution process, and ensuring a joyful and respectful atmosphere throughout the campaign. This initiative reflects the foundation's long-standing commitment to supporting underprivileged communities and promoting inclusive development through sustained charitable outreach. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
