Tunisia Urges Its Citizens to Leave Libya 'Soonest'
Tunisia on Friday urged its estimated 50,000 to 60,000 nationals in neighboring Libya to leave "as soon as possible" because of violence that has raged there since mid-July.
"The ministry of foreign affairs urges Tunisians who find themselves in Libyan territory to return home as soon as possible," a ministry statement said.
Underlining "the deteriorating security situation in several Libyan cities," the ministry urged its citizens be careful and to contact Tunisian consular offices in Tripoli and Benghazi to facilitate their repatriation.
