Egypt has called for an emergency meeting of the Arab League to discuss recent developments in Libya’s civil war. The meeting is expected to be held next week, the league’s assistant secretary-general, Hossam Zaki, said today.

The call comes as rogue Libyan general Khalifa Hifter — who is backed by Cairo, the United Arab Emirates and Russia — faces the worst setback yet in his campaign to take over the country.
