3. New leak alleges plan for Egypt and UAE to arm Libya campaign

A fresh alleged leak claims to shed new light on efforts by top-level Egyptian officials to transfer large amounts of weaponry to an anti-militia campaign in Libya.

Egyptian satellite channel Mekameleen, known for its support for the banned Muslim Brotherhood, aired on Thursday the latest in a series of recordings allegedly leaked from the office of current President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Six recordings aired on the Turkey-based channel claim to reveal close ties between Sisi’s office and Emirati army generals together facilitating transfers of large quantities of ammunition and weaponry to Libya's general Khalifa Haftar.

According to the recordings, Egyptian officials worked with counterparts from the UAE to deliver weapons to an anti-militia campaign in neighbouring Libya run by Haftar, who is commander of the armed forces for the Tobruk-based government.

One of the voices heard on the recordings is said to be that of General Essa al-Mazrouei from the UAE – the voice is heard arranging a shipment to be sent from the UAE to an eastern port in Egypt, and from there to an undisclosed location in Libya.
