#1 "Some Libyan nationals are involved with the Egyptians in claiming that the Libyan land in Jaghbub oasis belongs to Egypt, as the latter is using media propaganda and politically-oriented courts for its aim."

Worked in the Ukraine.

#2 This is crazy. The Jaghbub oasis is the home of the Sanussi Brotherhood, a Libyan Sufi movement that has spread into the African Sahil. Idris, the Last Libyan king was a Sanussi. Perhaps the Egyptian claim results from the claim of some Pharaoh?
