The President of Libya’s Presidential Council, Mohamed Al Menfi, and Algeria’s President Abdelmajid Tebboune have arrived in Tunis on Monday for talks at the invitation of Tunisia’s President Kais Saied.
Tunisia, Libya, and Algeria are set to meet today to discuss potentially launching a new Maghreb union. Neither Morocco nor Mauritania were invited to this event, which suggests that a Maghreb union organization could be formed without these two states.
“Tunisian President Kais Saied has invited his Algerian counterpart Abdelmajid Tebboune and Libyan Presidential Council President Mohamed al-Menfi to participate Monday in “a first consultative meeting among the leaders of the three brotherly countries,” reads an official statement published by the Tunis Presidency on April 20.
When the three leaders met on the sidelines of a gas summit in Algiers last month, they decided on the principle of “a tripartite Maghreb meeting” held every three months.
