French president announces reopening of embassy in Libya
Emmanuel Macron met with head of Libya’s Presidential Council Mohammad Younes Menfi in Paris on Tuesday.
France will reopen its embassy in Libya on Monday. The move is significant due to the French government’s alleged support for the Libyan National Army, which fought the Tripoli-based government, during the Libyan civil war.

He was speaking alongside the head of Libya’s Presidential Council, Mohammad Younes Menfi, in Paris.
