Thank you for your reading and interest in the news ‘Why are you worried?’: El Sisi reassures Egyptian people as Libya tensions rise and now with detailsHind Al Soulia - Riyadh - Addressing widespread fears the country could go to war in neighbouring Libya, Egypt’s president sought to reassure Egyptians, saying no harm would come to them if they remain united. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi made no direct mention of Libya, where a showdown is rapidly building between Egypt and Turkey. Turkey supports the Government of National Accord based in the Libyan capital, while Egypt supports Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army, who has vowed to end the rule of militias in Tripoli. “There is no reason to worry … no one can hurt us so long as we are standing together,” Mr El Sisi said at the televised event late on Monday night. He has also made clear that Egypt will not send troops to Libya, with which Egypt shares a desert border.
