Libyan High Council accuses Egypt of interference

Libyan High Council of State accuses Egypt of interference: Libya’s High Council of State issued a statement on Tuesday accusing Egypt of “blatant intervention” in Libyan affairs for supporting the rival House of Representatives based in the east of the country, according to the Libyan Express. The council said that this support violates UN resolutions that compel all countries to recognize the UN-backed Government of National Accord as Libya’s legitimate ruling body. Egypt’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement yesterday stating that the Tobruk-based House of Representatives “is the is the only elected institution in Libya, which is mandated to ratify any road map coming out of the Libyan crisis and to establish the constitutional rules for the organization of presidential and parliamentary elections.”
