Libya’s eastern government bans entry of nationals from four African countries

BENGHAZI: Libya’s eastern-based government ‌on Tuesday banned the entry of nationals of four African countries, a decision a government ​source said was due to a “reorganization of foreign nationals’ entry to Libya.” “Citizens of Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia are prohibited from entering Libyan territory through all land, sea, and air ports,” according to a decree by the parallel ‌government in Libya’s ‌second-largest city Benghazi. The ​Benghazi-based ‌government ⁠of Osama ​Hamad is ⁠allied to military commander Khalifa Haftar, who controls the east and large areas of southern Libya.
