Eastern Libya has banned men and
women between the ages of 18 and 45 from travelling abroad without permission.
The region's military chief of
staff, Abdelrazzak Al-Naduri, said the aim of the move was to prevent people
from joining terrorist groups abroad.
Libya has rival administrations in
the east and west, and much of the country is effectively controlled by militias.
The new order comes days after a
controversial ban on women's travel was introduced, and quickly suspended.
Libyans in other parts of the
country are unlikely to be affected by the new ban, because the two rival
centres of power do not recognise each other's authority.
The new order means eastern Libya's
military intelligence and ministry of interior will be responsible for issuing
permits for those who wish to travel.
Reports however say the order was
likely to be a temporary one, and that most travellers would be able to obtain
a security clearance within a day.
