The Libyan political dialogue, which will be held Monday in Tunis, “is the best opportunity offered since 2014 to achieve what Libyans want,” Acting Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya Stephanie Williams said on Sunday in a press conference in the Tunisian capital.
The UN official said she had noticed “a real desire on the part of everyone to make concessions in the supreme interest of Libya in order to resolve the current crisis.”
She added that she was seeking to initiate a Libyan-Libyan political dialogue in order to achieve national reconciliation between all Libyan rivals. “The dialogues that do not form the different forces will not succeed and will fail; therefore, we participate in the meetings in Tunis with many representatives of the active forces in Libya,” she declared.
Ms. Williams also hoped that the results of the Berlin conference on Libya, as well as other agreements produced by the other avenues of dialogue, “should constitute the general framework of the Libyan political dialogue planned in Tunis,” including the work will be inaugurated by Tunisian President Kaïs Saïed.
She said the United Nations Support Mission in Libya “is trying to end the transition phase and establish a roadmap for holding elections that produce institutions representing the Libyan people.
“We are seeking to consolidate the principles of transparency and efficiency, all the more so as the recommendations of the Libyan-Libyan Dialogue Forum in Tunisia should be in the interest of Libya and we are also seeking to propose decisions that favor profit public to the detriment of personal interest, consolidate the unity and sovereignty of Libya and the transparency of its institutions, ”she said.
The Tunisian capital will host tomorrow the meetings of the Forum for Libyan political dialogue between the various Libyan protagonists, a forum which follows on from what has been achieved in the other platforms for political and military dialogue sponsored by the United Nations in Germany, Egypt, Morocco, Switzerland, and Libya.
