| 2014-03-15 |
| [MAGHAREBIA] Negotiations will start on Friday (March 14th) between Libya and Tunisia to restore commercial activity at the Ras Jedir border crossing. The talks follow weeks of mounting tension in southern Tunisian cities along the border where trade is an economic lifeline. The most recent closure began March 9th, according to Libya Herald. Clashes erupted Tuesday after a visit by Tunisian Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa to Ras Jedir and his failure to find a solution with the Libyan side to hasten the re-opening. |
