Turkey's parliament has passed a bill that will allow the government to deploy troops to Libya

Turkish lawmakers passed the bill on Thursday, with 325 in favour to 184 against.


Turkey is allied with Libya's UN-backed government, which is based in the capital, Tripoli.

The Libyan government has been fighting an insurgency by forces under Gen Khalifa Haftar, based in eastern Libya.

Egypt, which backs Gen Haftar, condemned Turkey's vote, saying it would "negatively affect the stability of the Mediterranean region".

    1. En un comunicado publicado este sábado, Arabia Saudita expresó su "rechazo y condena" a la decisión del Parlamento de Turquía, que permitió desplazar a militares a Libia para ayudar al Gobierno de Acuerdo Nacional (GAN) en su conflicto con la Cámara de Representantes respaldada por el mariscal Jalifa Haftar.

Además, las autoridades del reino aseguran que la decisión de Ankara "representa una amenaza a la seguridad y estabilidad" tanto para el país africano como para la región en general.
