CAIRO - 7 March 2020: Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry urged all Libyan parties to abide by the permanent ceasefire agreement, especially concerning the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries from the North African country. Shoukry also affirmed the importance of countering any attempts that may obstruct the unification of Libyan security institutions or widening division inside the Libyan community. This came in a closed session on protecting the Egyptian and Libyan national security against terror threats. Sisi said at a meeting with Libyan tribal chiefs in Egypt that any Egyptian military intervention in Libya may only materialize upon a request by the Libyan people and permission from the Egyptian House. He noted that in case the Egyptian forces enter Libya, they will be led by tribal leaders carrying the Libyan flag.
