Egypt has renewed its support for the Libyan National Army. LNA commander Khalifa Hifter went to Cairo March 16 and met with Egyptian officials to update Cairo on the latest developments in the talks of the Libyan Joint Military Commission to unify the Libyan military establishment and remove mercenaries.
Hifter also shared plans to integrate armed groups and militias into the Libyan military institution following its unification, which began March 24 with the dismantling of the militias and selecting figures from them to join the military establishment.
