President of the Tunisian Observatory for Rights and Freedoms, Mustapha Abdelkebir, has announced in a statement to the media that a plan has been put in place between Tunisia and Libya to reopen the Ras Jedir border crossing on June 1.
The Ras Jedir border crossing has been completely closed to the movement of people and goods, as well as to ‘exceptional cases’ on the instructions of the Libyan authorities, a security source told TAP’s correspondent in Medenine (southern Tunisia).
Tunisians can only return from Libyan territory via the Dhiba-Wazen crossing between the two countries, the source added.
He added that ‘the movement of people was assured in both directions this morning, but in execution of the decision of the Libyan authorities, the border crossing has been completely closed sine die’, it said, affirming the possibility of crossing in both directions through the Dhiba-Wazen crossing.
