Egypt's Intelligence Chief Meets Libya's Khalifa Haftar in Benghazi | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar, head of the Benghazi-based Libyan National Army, hosted Egypt’s intelligence chief Major General Hassan Rashad in Benghazi to discuss security and intelligence cooperation. A Libyan statement said the talks focused on strengthening coordination to safeguard regional stability and mutual interests, though Cairo has not issued any comment. The visit highlights Egypt’s close partnership with Haftar and Libya’s eastern administration, despite publicly engaging with Tripoli’s UN-recognised government. Egypt views Haftar’s forces as a key buffer against militias and smuggling along their shared border, and has long provided him with training, intelligence and logistical backing.
