Libya and the north pole

The new Liby­an govern­ment has announ­ced a flight to the north pole tog­e­ther with repre­sen­ta­ti­ves of NATO mem­ber sta­tes that took part in the 2011 mili­ta­ry cam­paign. The flight aims at an increase of the fee­ling for tog­e­ther­ness within the Liby­an socie­ty and a posi­ti­ve recep­ti­on in the world public.

The Sys­sel­man­nen has, howe­ver, denied per­mis­si­on for a fuel stop in Lon­gye­ar­by­en. The orga­ni­zers of the flight said they were dis­ap­poin­ted and would try to take the issue up to a poli­ti­cal level.
