Tripoli, 5 October 2026 (Lana) The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Taher Al-Baour, discussed with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Chadian Foreign Minister Ahmed Kougori ways to enhance coordination between Libya, Egypt, and Chad in combating terrorism and transnational organized crime, supporting security and stability in the Sahel and Sahara region, as well as efforts to activate the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD) and resume the work of its institutions.
