On Thursday, the Libyan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Najla Al-Mangoush held a meeting with the Libyan Ambassador to Sudan, Fawzi Bomerriz to discuss the latest updates on the situation of Libyan nationals residing in Sudan.

In a statement, Al-Mangoush was briefed on the measures taken by the Embassy to evacuate the Libyan community in Sudan. This comes against the backdrop of the armed clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.
