the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, called on the Secretary-General
of the United Nations, "Antonio Guterres" to expedite the appointment
of a new special envoy to Libya, noting that the situation in Libya
continues to deteriorate.
"Nebenzia" said during a session of the United Nations Security
Council, , Wednesday, that the post of Special Envoy of the
Secretary-General to Libya is still vacant for 4 months, and this
undermines the efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement in Libya.

believes it makes sense to choose an African figure for this
position.
