CAIRO — Egypt has recently taken both overt and covert steps to settle differences and end the state of rivalry between Libya’s political forces, as it considers the situation in Libya along its western border to be linked to its own national security.
Egypt is coordinating with various international forces to ensure stability for Libya after more than a decade of chaos and bloody events following the killing of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi on Oct. 20, 2011, and a popular revolution that toppled his 42-year rule.
