Bathily Urges Libyan Parties to Hold Negotiations

The Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Abdoulaye Bathily has urged Libyan factions to “demonstrate responsibility and come together for negotiations.”

In a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba, Bathily expressed his ongoing efforts to bring key Libyan parties to the table, and to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.

He reiterated his call for all parties to engage in negotiations, emphasising that “now is the time to show responsibility!” He stressed the necessity for Libyan leaders to “act decisively to achieve peace and stability in their homeland.”

Bathily added that “citizens across Libya are eager to see their country under unified and legitimate institutions, emerging from a long-awaited electoral process.” He highlighted the importance of a sense of duty towards the nation, to prevent the country from falling apart.

This development comes amid a complex political landscape in Libya, where efforts to unify the country and pave the way for elections have faced numerous challenges. The international community, led by the United Nations, continues to support dialogue and reconciliation for Libya.

As the country stands at a critical juncture, the call for responsible leadership, and a commitment to peace remains paramount. The Libyan people’s aspirations for a stable and unified nation hinge on the willingness of its leaders to prioritize national interests, and work towards a common 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.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
