India to deploy 40 commandos to protect its embassy in Libya
Indian authorities have announced plans to deploy 40 special forces commandos to protect their embassy in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, following a model previously implemented in Baghdad. General Director of India's Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandos said 'Personnel from the CRPF will be assigned to secure the Indian embassy in Tripoli, in a mission similar to the one previously carried out in Baghdad.' 'Around 40 personnel will take on the responsibility in Tripoli once the necessary approvals are obtained from the Ministry of External Affairs.' He added. The Indian Embassy in Libya was reopened in July of last year after nearly five years of closure due to the deteriorating security situation in the North African country. Officials familiar with the matter told the agency that 'the CRPF had previously guarded the Indian embassy in Libya for around four to five years, but it was shut down amid escalating chaos and merged with the Indian embassy in neighboring Tunisia.'

Takala wins presidency of HCS in election session described by Al-Mishri as "illegitimate"
Mohammed Takala was elected Head of the High Council of State (HCS) after receiving 59 votes in the first round of voting during the council's session to elect its presidency, held today in the capital, Tripoli. The session convened earlier on Sunday with the attendance of 95 members—more than two-thirds of the council—who gathered to elect the council's president and two deputies. Following the vote, Takala was announced the winner with 59 votes, while Ali Al-Sweih received 13 votes, Ali Juwan received 14, and Naji Mukhtar received 8. Meanwhile, Khaled Al-Mishri, Takala's rival for the presidency of the High Council of State, rejected Sunday's session ahead of its start, describing it as an 'illegitimate election for the presidency of the High Council of State,' and insisted he remains the legitimate Head of HCS. A dispute over the council's leadership has persisted between Mohammed Takala and Khaled Al-Mishri since a controversial election session in August 2024. Despite multiple attempts by council members to mediate, the two sides failed to reach a consensus. Following the session and the announcement of Takala's victory, Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity Abdul Hamid Dbeibah congratulated Takala, reaffirming in a post on his Facebook page that the session reflected the members' commitment to unity and national will. He emphasized the government's support for all efforts that would strengthen political stability in the country. The Prime Minister called for greater understanding and coordination among institutions to meet the Libyan people's aspirations for security, development, and prosperity, and to realize their desire for direct elections and an end to all transitional phases.
