Egypt denies allegations of receiving explosives shipment for Israeli defense firm
Egypt's military on Thursday denied reports claiming it aided Israeli military operations, following news that an Egyptian port
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov took aim Tuesday at the West and its supposed "objectives" in Ukraine and Libya during a visit to Congo as part of his Africa tour.
He also told reporters he supports talks to reconcile warring parties in
Libya.
"We support the initiative of (Republic of Congo) President Denis Sassou
Nguesso which aims to organize an inter-Libyan conference," he said, following
a meeting with Sassou who also chairs a high-level committee on Libya in the
African Union.
Libya is divided between a UN-recognized government based in Tripoli led by
Abdelhamid Dbeibah and a rival administration in the country's east backed by
military strongman Khalifa Haftar, with whom Moscow maintains close relations.
