🇸🇾🇱🇾⚡- Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani visited Tripoli on Sunday, meeting western Libya’s GNU Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and Acting Foreign Minister Taher al-Baour, as Damascus and Tripoli moved to restore and amend ties. During the visit, al-Shaibani reopened the Syrian Embassy in Tripoli after more than 14 years of closure, while the two sides signed an agreement to reactivate the Libyan-Syrian Joint Higher Committee. Note, eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar had previously accused the Tripoli-based GNU of recruiting fighters from the Syrian National Army, SNA—formerly concentrated in northern Syria, particularly around the Azaz–Mare’ area—to fight alongside GNU-aligned forces against Haftar’s Libyan National Army, LNA.
