Egyptian Army Foiled 2,200 Infiltration Attempts at Egyptian-Libyan Border
2021-02-13
[LibyaReview] General Director of the Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies (ECSS), Khaled Okasha confirmed that the Egyptian military successfully foiled over 2,200 infiltration attempts into Egypt, through its border with Libya in 2020.

"There were attempts to drag Libya into complete chaos with the aim of failing the outcomes of the Berlin Conference, but Egypt set a red line to stop the fighting in Libya at all levels," Okasha said.

He noted that the red line, the Cairo Declaration, and the peace talks held in Egypt were milestones in solving the Libyan crisis.

The ECSS Chief also reaffirmed Egypt’s support for the newly-elected interim government, against challenges that threaten the security and stability of the North African country. He stressed that the security of Libya is an integral part of Egypt’s national security.
