The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has announced the opening of registration for young men and women from across southern Libya to participate in an upcoming political dialogue session. The initiative is part of UNSMIL’s “#YouthEngages” program, aimed at fostering greater involvement of Libya’s youth in shaping the country’s political future.
In its announcement on Thursday, UNSMIL invited youth from southern municipalities and cities to register for the discussion, which will take place virtually on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM via the Zoom platform. The session will last for 90 minutes and is designed to collect the opinions, concerns, and proposals of young Libyans regarding the country’s political process.
The mission stated that the dialogue would focus on the proposals presented by the Advisory Committee, while also exploring broader concerns, aspirations, and priorities raised by participants. The goal is to ensure that young people have an active voice in discussions about Libya’s political transition and national reconciliation efforts.
Libyans aged between 18 and 35 are eligible to apply by completing the online registration form before 10:00 AM on Monday, July 7. The registration link provided is:

UNSMIL emphasized that registering does not automatically guarantee participation. Selected individuals will be contacted after their applications are reviewed and approved. The mission also noted that additional virtual and in-person consultation sessions will be held soon to expand youth engagement.
