The eastern Libyan government issued the directive banning Iranian and Afghan citizens from entering the country through any port of entry, according to an official statement released on Wednesday evening.
The move marks a significant escalation in border control measures by the administration, which has been seeking to tighten security protocols across its territory. No official explanation was provided regarding the rationale behind the entry restrictions.
The ban encompasses all conventional entry points, including overland borders, maritime ports, and airports within the eastern administration's jurisdiction. This represents a comprehensive restriction on movement across Libya's eastern frontier.
The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions in the region and reflects the eastern government's approach to managing migration and border security. The decree is expected to affect travel and commerce between Libya and both nations.
