Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Authorities in Libya have banned its national sports teams from competing against Algeria and Egypt.

Libyan football teams must also request state authorisation before playing teams from other Arab countries.

The authorisation is required to ensure "good sportsmanship", but no reason was given for the Algeria and Egypt ban.
