2014-07-31
[Libya Herald] The remaining members of the French embassy staff, including Ambassador Antoine Sivan, sailed out of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
 overnight aboard a French frigate. With them went a number of Frenchies as well as two British families working and living in Libya. The frigate is headed to the French naval port of Toulon.

In an announcement, the French Foreign Ministry said that "because of the security situation, the sites occupied by our embassy in Tripoli are temporarily closed. Diplomatic activities are being carried from Gay Paree".

The statement added that La Belle France remained fully involved in trying to bring about an end to the situation and was in close contact in regards to it with both the UN and those of its partners most active in Libya.
