Libya delays Ras Ajdir border reopening with Tunisia

Libya announced Wednesday that the reopening of the Ras Ajdir border crossing with Tunisia, which has been closed for three months and was scheduled to open Thursday, has been postponed to June 24.

The Interior Ministry made the announcement and said it has been delayed because necessary procedures have not yet been completed.

The crossing remains open for urgent and diplomatic passages.

The ministry had announced that the crossing would partially open June 13 for urgent humanitarian and diplomatic situations, and fully open June 20 for citizens.

The Wazin crossing, meanwhile, remains open.

The Ras Ajdir crossing was closed after an armed group attacked security forces March 19.
