CAIRO, Dec 21 (NNN-MENA) – The Egyptian and Libyan Ministries of Manpower, announced yesterday, the launch of an electronic link system, to organise the entry of Egyptian workers to the Libyan labour market.
“The new system will coordinate the return of Egyptian labourers to Libya, to participate in the reconstruction projects of the war-torn country,” Egypt’s Ministry of Manpower said, in a statement.
The new system will document the exact number of Egyptian workers in Libya and their workplaces, to protect their rights, the statement added.
Libya has been the main destination for nearly two million Egyptian workers, before the civil war wreaked havoc in the country for a decade, Hamdi Imam, chairman of the Division of Recruitment Companies at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, said, in a previous interview.
Before the uprising and the killing of Libyan former leader, Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Egyptian workers were allowed to enter and reside there with Egyptian national IDs.– NNN-MENA
