Libyan FM Stresses Need for National Reconciliation in Libya

Libyan FM Stresses Need for National Reconciliation in Libya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Abdel-Hadi Al-Hwaij, Libya’s Foreign Minister in the Parliament-designate government, has reiterated that the Government of National Unity (GNU), headed by Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba, is not a legitimate government as it was never elected and its mandate expired according to Libyan law.

In an interview with “Al-Masar TV,” Al-Hwaij emphasised that the political situation in Libya requires a shift in focus towards Africa for a more sustainable solution.

Al-Hwaij pointed out that despite efforts from ten UN Special Envoys, none succeeded in resolving the crisis, as they primarily focused on managing the conflict rather than seeking a long-term resolution. The Foreign Minister stressed that Africa’s role is crucial in facilitating a solution grounded in national reconciliation, equitable distribution of resources, and the creation of sustainable state institutions.

He further explained that Libya’s solution must be rooted in national legitimacy, prioritising the establishment of a state based on institutions and citizenship over international legitimacy. “International legitimacy must also be derived from popular legitimacy within the country,” he noted, underlining the importance of public approval for any future political processes.

Al-Hwaij reiterated that the idea of a divided Libya is unacceptable, affirming the government’s commitment to unity, peace, and development across all regions. He also clarified that the his government represents the true legitimate government, as it is elected and operates under parliamentary oversight.

The Libyan crisis has persisted for years, with various factions and international actors involved. The push for a more Africa-centred solution reflects growing dissatisfaction with the current UN-led peace process and a desire for a homegrown resolution to the country’s political and security challenges.
