Eastern Libya declares EU delegation, including Greek minister, ‘persona non grata’ over Tripoli visit
The eastern Libyan government, headed by de facto ruler Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, has strongly condemned visiting ministers from Greece, Italy, and Malta, along with EU Commissioner for Migration Magnus Brunner, accusing them of a “flagrant violation of Libyan sovereignty and diplomatic norms.” The delegation was abruptly declared persona non grata and their scheduled visit to Benghazi was cancelled.
