Leading the conversation on Egypt in the foreign press is its pledge to help Libya reorganize its national army under the command of General Khalifa Haftar, which Egypt’s military spokesperson announced in a statement. The announcement came after a meeting of the Egyptian committee on Libya in Cairo, where Libyan officers promised Egypt’s army Chief of Staff to maintain Libya’s unity and work towards establishing a “modern democratic state,” as well actively taking part in the battle against terror. The Associated Press also has the story.

Egypt’s efforts are coinciding with those of the UN Secretary General’s special envoy for Libya to amend the 2015 peace agreement that set up the Government of National Accord, Reuters reports. The GNA “never fully established itself in Tripoli, leaving Libya with three competing governments,” including that of Egypt-backed General Haftar in the east. The new proposal would eventually lead to the nomination of a new transitional government.
