| Sisi arrives in UAE with Hafter and Serraj still in Abu Dhabi |
| 2017-05-05 |
| [Libya Herald] Egyptian president Abdel Fattah Sisi has arrived in the UAE for talks with Emirati leaders, but also reportedly to see Khalifa Hafter and Faiez Serraj who remain in Abu Dhabi. While it is not yet confirmed that he will meet the Presidency Council head and Libyan National Army (LNA) chief, Sisi has long sought to bring the two together. He has put considerable pressure on Hafter to step up negotiations with the west of the country. This included his failed initiative to set up a meeting in Cairo this February where Hafter refused to see Serraj, a decision that irritated the Egyptian president. |
