Saif al-Islam Gaddafi’s political team expressed their approval on Sunday of the outcomes of the Cairo meeting between representatives from the House of Representatives and the High Council of State.
In a statement, the team stated, “We express our satisfaction with the UN Support Mission in Libya’s statement welcoming the results of the Cairo meeting.”
The statement highlighted the importance of this meeting, which demonstrated a unified initiative and stance among the council members, who are keen on taking the initiative to overcome the political deadlock.
The statement also noted that the current political deadlock only serves those clinging to power at the expense of the higher interests of the Libyan people.
Last week, members of the Libyan House of Representatives and the High Council of State convened in Cairo and agreed to form a unified government.
This crucial decision marks a major step toward ending Libya’s prolonged political crisis. The representatives called on the House of Representatives to open the process for candidacies, receive endorsements, and review candidates’ files to establish a “Government of Competence” that will oversee the country’s affairs.
In their final statement, the attendees underscored the necessity of conducting presidential and legislative elections based on mutually agreed laws issued by the House of Representatives. They emphasized the importance of broadening the circle of consensus and proposed a roadmap as the primary path to completing the essential steps leading to these elections.
The statement also highlighted the critical need to intensify and unify efforts to end the political and institutional division that exacerbates corruption, inflation, and the unprecedented deterioration of citizens’ living conditions. Additionally, they called on the international community to support national consensus, respect Libya’s sovereign decision-making, and ensure the unity and integrity of Libyan territory.
