Cairo: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi has given his support to a transitional government that would lead neighbouring Libya through elections late this year. The three council members each represent a region of old Libya: Tripolitania in the west, Cyrenaica in the east, and Fezzan in the southwest. … We are ready to cooperate with them for Libya’s recovery and to prepare for the elections in Libya, el-Sissi said. Egypt views the instability in neighbouring Libya as a national security threat. The appointment of an interim government has been seen as a major — if uncertain — step toward unifying the North African nation.
