Libyan Official Condemns UN Electoral Initiative

November 24, 2023
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Saad Bin Sharada, Member of Libya’s High Council of State (HCS) has condemned the United Nations Envoy, Abdoulaye Bathily for “disregarding electoral laws and inviting five Libyan parties to start a new dialogue on elections.” He expressed his concern that Bathily’s approach and his “new dialogue marathon” would provide a boost to those who benefit from the lack of state-building in Libya.

The initiative, known as the “Bathily Initiative,” is facing widespread rejection among many Libyans. However, it has garnered support from several countries, including France, Germany, Britain, Italy, and the United States.

This development is set against the backdrop of Libya’s prolonged political instability, and failed state-building efforts following the 2011 revolution and the subsequent fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime. The country has been struggling with a power vacuum, leading to the emergence of various factions and militias vying for control.

The UN has been actively trying to facilitate a political solution in Libya. The goal is to establish a stable and unified government, which can organize elections and bring long-term stability to the country. However, the process has been fraught with challenges, including internal divisions, foreign interventions, and disagreements over the legal and constitutional basis for elections.

Bin Sharada’s criticism highlights the complexities of the Libyan political landscape, and the challenges faced by international mediators in reconciling divergent views among rival factions. His statement reflects a sentiment shared by many Libyans, who are concerned that prolonged negotiations and external interventions are hindering the country’s progress.

The situation in Libya remains a focal point of international diplomacy, with various actors including neighbouring countries and global powers continuing to play a role in seeking a resolution to the ongoing conflict and political instability.
