July 30, 2014
France has evacuated nearly 50 French and British citizens from Libya by ship, French authorities said today, amid growing lawlessness and unrest in the north African country.
The French chief of staff said 40 French nationals and seven Britons were pulled out in the overnight operation and would be taken to the southern French port city of Toulon. A French naval frigate was on standby during the evacuation.
