The Libyan Intelligence Service announced that it has officially assumed the presidency of the Organization of African Intelligence Services (CISA) for the year 2025.
The head of the service, Lieutenant General Hussein Mohammed Al-Aib, received congratulations from the member states of the organization in appreciation of the efforts of the Libyan Intelligence Service in combating terrorism and organized crime.
The selection of the Libyan Intelligence Service to chair the organization came as a recognition of its efficiency in confronting security threats, and the members praised the work of the service in achieving regional security and stability.
Through its presidency of the organization, the Libyan Intelligence Service will assume responsibility for coordination between member states and enhancing joint strategies to combat terrorism and organized crime.
Libya hosted the CISA meetings last May, where the meeting discussed joint security strategies with the participation of 26 countries.
The Organization of African Intelligence Services (CISA) was established in 2001, and the organization’s headquarters are located in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
CISA aims to enhance cooperation and coordination between intelligence agencies in African countries to combat cross-border security threats, such as terrorism and organized crime. The organization’s activities include exchanging intelligence information, coordinating counter-terrorism operations, and developing joint security strategies.
CISA has played an important role in enhancing cooperation between African countries to confront terrorist threats such as the Somali Al-Shabaab group and Boko Haram in Nigeria.
