Tripoli security bolstered after Monday morning tensions
Libyan authorities have reinforced security patrols across sensitive areas in Tripoli following brief unrest in the early hours of Monday. The Law Enforcement Department of the General Directorate for Security Operations said it had increased its presence in 'frontline areas' of the capital. The move comes in line with existing ceasefire arrangements and aims to safeguard citizens and property. Earlier, the Ministry of Defence under the Government of National Unity confirmed that the situation in Tripoli had stabilised after what it described as 'unexpected movements' by armed elements. The ministry said the developments represented a 'clear breach' of established de-escalation agreements. A statement released by the ministry said immediate action was taken to contain the movements, with violating groups retreating to their previous positions without any escalation.

Aguila and Hamad praise 'Belgasem Haftar's achievements'
Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Aguila Saleh and the head of the parallel government Osama Hamad have praised the efforts of Belgasem Haftar, head of the Reconstruction and Development Fund, during a recent meeting. They highlighted the Fund's contributions to Libya's reconstruction efforts, describing its achievements as unprecedented. According to them, the Fund has played a significant role in creating job opportunities and driving a major urban development surge across numerous Libyan cities and regions. Earlier this month, the HoR approved a 69 billion Libyan dinar budget to expand the Fund's projects. This move comes despite warnings from the Central Bank of Libya about the country's ongoing financial crisis. News Tagged: Belgasem Haftar Aqilah Saleh

US travel ban on Libyans and citizens of 11 other countries takes effect
The executive order signed by US President Donald Trump officially came into effect on Monday morning, barring nationals from 12 countries—including Libya—from entering the United States. Last Wednesday, the White House announced in a statement that President Trump had signed an executive order restricting the entry of nationals from the following 12 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. The White House justified the decision by saying the U.S. administration had conducted a thorough risk assessment of these countries, particularly regarding terrorism and national security. The statement explained that the listed countries fail to meet the necessary security requirements and pose a significant threat to the United States. In Libya's case specifically, the White House said the complete suspension of travel by Libyan nationals was due to the absence of a central, competent, and cooperative authority responsible for issuing passports and civil documents. It added: 'A history of terrorist activity within Libyan territory increases the risk of admitting its nationals into the US.' Despite the ban, the statement noted exceptions for individuals holding valid permanent residency or visas, specific visa categories, and individuals whose entry serves US national interests. As for implementation, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a diplomatic cable providing instructions to American diplomatic missions on how consular officers should handle visa applications from nationals of the banned countries.
