A report by the “Christian Science Monitor” website highlighted the progress of the dialogues conducted by the Libyan parties with the support of the United Nations, but linked their success to the need for those holding senior government positions to abandon their personal ambitions and put them aside.
The site stated that when Libyan representatives meet in Tunisia to start mapping out the political future of their country, they will be bound by a precondition that requires abandoning personal ambition, and the presence of all groups involved in and affected by the conflict is vital and helps ensure broad acceptance of the negotiating outcome.
This is also confirmed by the Acting UN Envoy for Support in Libya Stephanie Williams, who said that the participants, including the President of the Presidency Council Fayez al-Sarraj and the Commander of the National Army, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, should move away from being considered in higher government positions, including membership of the Presidency Council, the Prime Minister’s Office and all other ministerial positions. .
The article dealt with the complex conflict fueled by international opponents seeking to dominate the Mediterranean region and control the country’s oil reserves, where militias and mercenaries took control.
The report concluded by talking about the pivotal and important role of the United Nations in reaching a political settlement, as UN diplomacy patiently sought to build confidence between the Libyan factions through a series of meetings that Williams held with key players across Libya with the aim of reaching a ceasefire and starting dialogues.
