Tripoli, 21 December:
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has again told Egyptians hoping to work in Libya to get visas before trying to enter the country.
Egypt’s Daily News reported that 26 Egyptians are currently being detained in Libyan jails, for not having visas and a further 35 for not having passports.
Apparently the MFA has also advised Egyptians to travel by plane rather than road, following a number of road-deaths.
