Libya’s House of Representatives Speaker, Ageela Saleh, has urged all parties to engage in dialogue and cooperation to resolve the country’s issues and maintain national security.
Speaking at the Reconstruction of the South Conference organised by the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund on Thursday in Sabha, Saleh pledged to work on the development and rebuilding of various regions in Libya in the coming period.
In his address, Saleh emphasised that armed groups are obstructing the smooth political transition in Libya and posing a threat to stability.
He reiterated the call for the removal of armed groups from the capital, Tripoli, and affirmed the House of Representatives’ support for the efforts of the General Command of the Libyan National Army (LNA) to establish security, stability, and development in southern Libya.
The first conference on rebuilding the south commenced in Sabha, attended by several key figures, including LNA’s Commander-in-Chief Khalifa Haftar, Chief of Staff General Abdulrazzaq Al-Nadhouri, Prime Minister designated by the House of Representatives, Osama Hammad, and the Director of the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund, Belgasem Haftar, along with other political, military, and government leaders.
Saleh highlighted the need for unity and collaboration among Libyan factions to address the ongoing challenges facing the nation.
He stressed that the reconstruction of the south is crucial for the country’s broader efforts to achieve long-term peace and prosperity. The presence of prominent leaders at the conference underlines the importance placed on rebuilding efforts in the region and the commitment to overcoming the political and security obstacles hindering progress.
