Could the key to the crisis in Libya be in Egyptian-Turkish hands? After years of standing on separate sides of the long-running conflict in Libya, new friends Egypt and Turkey are pushing for a resolution to the crisis in Libya, Bloomberg writes, citing unnamed officials and diplomats. The two sides are pressuring Libya’s two rivaling governments to reach an agreement that the publication said would bring about the end of an oil blockade.

Remember: During his historic visit to Turkey earlier this month, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the developments in Libya. “We stress that it is important to turn the page on the ongoing crisis through holding presidential and parliamentary elections,” El Sisi said, adding that “illegal foreign forces and mercenaries” need to leave the country, alongside the disbandment of local militias.

ELSEWHERE IN THE FOREIGN PRESS- Our tourism hotspots are once again making the rounds ahead of the winter holiday season.
