Morning Edition, September 11, 2026

Every Lexy News brief, written out. Three stories, three times a day.

Algeria

Algeria announced Thursday that it is severing diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates, citing alleged provocative and hostile actions by the Gulf state. The Algerian Foreign Ministry said the country had exhausted efforts to preserve bilateral relations. The rupture matters because diplomatic breaks can affect embassy operations, consular support and citizens needing government assistance, while also signaling a serious strain between an influential North African state and a Gulf power. The UAE Foreign Ministry said it hoped the decision would be temporary and that fraternal ties would be preserved.

Libya

Libya’s rival political actors signed a UN-facilitated agreement in Tripoli on August 30 aimed at moving the country toward presidential and parliamentary elections within two years. The UN Security Council welcomed the deal Tuesday and said it could pave the way for long-delayed national elections. Council president Jérôme Bonnafont called it “an important step toward delivering free, fair, and transparent” national elections. The agreement seeks to resolve disputes over election rules and the constitutional basis for a national vote, and to advance the unification of Libya’s divided institutions. Bonnafont urged all Libyan stakeholders to support the agreement and work toward implementation, with planned elections blocked since 2021.

Yemen

Yemeni government military officials said Iran-aligned Houthi militants had seized control of Mokha, a historic port city on Yemen’s Red Sea coast near the Bab el-Mandeb shipping chokepoint. The officials said the seizure could threaten the route linking the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. If held, the port would put Houthi forces closer to a major maritime passage used by commercial shipping and aid deliveries.
