""Libya's ruling national congress ordered the temporary closure of
its borders with four of its neighbors on Sunday and declared its vast desert
south a closed military zone in the face of growing unrest. The
national assembly ordered the "temporary closure of the land borders with Chad,
Niger, Sudan and Algeria pending new regulations", a decree carried by the
official LANA news agency said. It added that the provinces of
Ghadames, Ghat, Obari,
al-Shati, Sabha, Murzuq and
Kufra "are considered as closed military zones"."" (thanks Amir)
