Egypt Demands Foreign Troop Exit from Libya
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aaty has stressed the urgent need for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Libya and the dismantling of armed militias, as part of efforts to restore stability and push forward the political process. In remarks to Al Arabiya Al Hadath, Abdel Aaty warned that 'any party obstructing Libya's electoral process should face sanctions.' The Egyptian minister emphasized that the Libyan file remains stagnant due to continued foreign interference and the persistence of militia influence. 'It is crucial to hold elections, but this will only be possible once foreign troops withdraw and militias are disarmed,' he stated, highlighting the international community's responsibility to hold spoilers accountable. Abdel Aaty's comments reflect Egypt's consistent position in support of Libyan unity and sovereignty, and its opposition to any foreign meddling that undermines national reconciliation. The statement comes amid ongoing international discussions to revive Libya's long-delayed electoral roadmap and resolve institutional divisions between rival administrations. Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations. Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy. The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions. The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition. Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: EgyptlibyaLibyan Electionsmilitias

Egyptian businesses ready to invest in Nigeria — Envoy
The Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Expatriates, Badr Abdel Aaty, has expressed the readiness of Businessmen, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Egyptian origin, to commence offering goods and services in Nigeria. Aaty disclosed this when he paid a courtesy visit to his Nigerian counterpart, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar in Abuja on Monday. Accompanied by CEOs of the 30 biggest companies in Egypt, the Minister listed agriculture, pharmaceuticals, industry, energy, mineral, oil, and gas as some of the areas of interest to the investors. 'I'm l eading a big delegation. We have more than 30 giant companies in Egypt, in different sectors, in agriculture, in pharmaceuticals, in industry, in energy, in mineral, oil and gas, you name it. They are here because there are a lot of opportunities, a conducive environment for investment and we are committed to come, to invest, to do business here based on a win-win situation', he said. Speaking further, Aaty lamented that the trade relationship between Nigeria and Egypt was far below what it should be: 'The current trade volume between our two countries does not meet or correspond with the weight of two giants in Africa, Nigeria and Egypt. 'This is very minimal. We have to double and even triple the trade volume in order to match the weight of the two countries. And we are fully committed, we have the political will from Nigeria, from Egypt to do and I'm fully committed to work with my dear brother Minister Yusuf to hopefully double and triple the trade volume in the near future', he said. He, however, informed that they were working on instructions to the heads of government of both countries to enhance bilateral cooperation relations. 'Our political relationship is more than excellent, but we have to do more on economic trade and investment based on a win-win situation. Nigeria is the largest country in Africa. Nigeria is the gateway to Africa, not only to the west and central Africa, but to all of Africa. 'That's why, as my brother Youssef mentioned, I'm starting my tour from here, from Abuja, in recognition of the strategic status of this great country. The two leaders met before in Rio de Janeiro on the side of the G20 meeting and they agreed to elevate our relationship into a comprehensive and strategic partnership and this is our task as foreign ministers to do more and to enhance our cooperation', he said. Responding, Amb. Tuggar noted that they had good intentions and expressed readiness to expedite actions on their request: 'They have one of the largest players that has successfully reclaimed record amounts of land, turned desert into fertile land that is producing food in Egypt. They have come here, and they are interested in investing and participating in Nigeria. 'Of course, there are some of the other players, for instance, the power and energy sector, electricity and swede, the likes of them are already here. They are looking at opportunities in gas and in the mineral sector. 'Both countries are also going to establish a joint commission so that all of these initiatives, including the chamber of commerce that we have, would be subsumed under that so that we can drive it faster,' he said.
