Mustakbal (Future) Movement announced a comprehensive reconciliation initiative on Thursday that will bring together all sectors of Libyan society. The movement will collect one million signatures for disarmament and collection of illegal weapons in Libya.
In its second consultative conference in Ubari, in the Fezzan region of southwestern Libya, the movement chose the slogan “Comprehensive national reconciliation is our goal and social peace is our way”. The initiative decided to hold its meeting in the southern region because it lacks the most basic rights of living, and has quite harmonized social relations between its various segments.
The conference was attended by representatives of various cities of southern Libya with a remarkable women’s presence, as an attempt to express the hopes of the Libyan citizens and to look forward for a bright future in which efforts will be combined in a positive way away from divisions.
Libya plunged into chaos after the 2011 uprising that ousted and killed longtime dictator Muammar Qaddafi, and it is now governed by rival administrations in the east and west.
It has also become a haven for Islamic militants and armed groups which thrive on looting and human trafficking, particularly in the remote south of the country.
