The Head of the Follow-up Committee for stranded citizens abroad, Undersecretary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mahmoud Talisi, said on Sunday, that he expected the first batch of stranded citizens abroad to arrive home in the next week.

Talisi also noted in a press statement that the dilemma faced by them, were the return of those citizens stranded in countries which have banned all Libyan Airlines.

He added that Libyan citizens stranded in Jordan, Spain and Malta have been quarantined, and the Libyan diplomatic missions in these countries have made a commitment to obtain permission for planes to operate in the safe return of Libyans to their homeland, despite the travel ban.
