Warring Libyan factions are edging closer to peace and elections, according to a UN envoy

 


In order to get agreement on conducting significant elections later this year, the UN special envoy to Libya informed the Security Council on Tuesday that he had participated in shuttle diplomacy between political and military parties around the nation.

According to Abdoulaye Bathily, his efforts were successful in persuading rival Libyan factions to agree to continue talks in order to organise inclusive parliamentary and presidential elections and unite the nation.

He said, "I call on Libya's leaders and all relevant actors to implement concrete, amicable solutions to realise their commitment to elections."

Political and institutional leaders have also acted to further the political process. I implore Libyan authorities to fulfil all of their promises in order to live up to the people's anticipation that they would elect leaders this year.

In order to help the Libyan people realise their "legitimate aspiration" for peace, stability, and prosperity, Bathily asked for assistance.

Since the overthrow of previous ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, political factions in the nation have been competing for control.
