The U.S. Embassy in Libya clarified the contents of a message delivered by U.S. Africa Command leader General Michael Langely and U.S. Special Envoy to Libya Richard Norland to Libyan political leaders. General Langley and Ambassador Norland arrived in Tripoli earlier today and met with Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah at the Ministry of Defense, alongside Chief of Staff Muhammad Al-Haddad. The meetings are part of a series the U.S. delegation will hold with military and political officials. Other topics included border security, counterterrorism, regional security developments, and their impact on Libya’s stability. The U.S. is concerned about Wagner’s growing presence in Africa, where it operates in at least six countries.
