The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya emphasized that the Libyan Political Agreement is the basis to end the conflict in the country.
It has been negotiated for over a year and facilitated by the United Nations. It enjoys the support of the majorities of both House of Representatives and the General National Congress.
“The country needs peace in unity, it is divided now,” Martin Kobler (pictured) told Aljazeera International on 06 December.
“It is now time for a rapid endorsement of the Libyan Political Agreement, the train has left the station.”
He urges all Libyans to support this agreement including those who still oppose it. The agreement opens the way to unite the country, fight the scourge of terrorism and address the deteriorating economic situation in Libya.
The upcoming Rome conference co-chaired by Italy, US and the UN is an opportunity to demonstrate the determination of the international community on the way forward on the basis of the Libyan Political Agreement.
