Libya frees two European hostages
The rescue operation for two European hostages, an Austrian woman and a Swiss woman, has been successfully carried out after more than a year and a half of their captivity in Niger. They were released through the mediation of Libyan Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar. The hostages, Eva Greitzmaher (76 years old) and Claudia Apt (69 years old), had been kidnapped in Niger in 2025 and held until their release and handover to the relevant authorities. The two women expressed their gratitude for the efforts of Haftar and his son. Currently, procedures are underway for their final handover. The release came amidst a backdrop of instability in Niger, where an armed extremist movement operates, and where the region has been suffering from conflicts and security issues for years.
