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.
