Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, the Commader-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), welcomed Richard Norland, the United States Special Envoy to Libya, along with Jeremy Brendt, the Charge d’Affairs of the US Embassy in Libya.

In a significant meeting in Benghazi, the focus of this high-profile discussion was the ongoing political developments in the Libyan crisis. Central to the talks was the new round of the quintet dialogue proposed by Abdoulaye Bathily, the UN Envoy and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). This initiative is seen as a critical step towards addressing the aspirations of the Libyan people for elections.

A key aspect of the dialogue was the emphasis on the need for a balanced approach in the talks, aligning with the Libyan public’s expectations. The meeting underscored the importance of unifying the Libyan army, and safeguarding national sovereignty. As well as ensuring transparent allocation and utilisation of funds for the reconstruction of areas like Derna, and other flood affected regions. The participants agreed on the necessity of these measures being overseen by experts, with robust technical support from international institutions.

This meeting marks a pivotal moment in Libya’s path towards stability and democracy, highlighting the international community’s ongoing commitment to supporting the nation’s journey. The discussions between Haftar and Norland reflect a growing consensus on the need for a unified, and comprehensive approach to address Libya’s challenges, paving the way for a peaceful and prosperous future.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations, each backed by rogue militias and foreign governments.

The current stalemate grew out of the failure to hold elections in December 2021, and the refusal of Prime Minister Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba, who is leading the transitional government, to step down.
