Al-Sunni affirms that Libyan ownership and leadership of any political process is the key to the solution that leads the country to stability.

New York, December 18, 2023 (LANA) - Libya’s representative to the United Nations, Al-Taher Al-Sunni, affirmed that Libyan ownership and leadership of any political process is the key to the solution that leads the country to stability and the imposition of state sovereignty away from external dictates and interference.

In his speech before the UN Security Council session on Libya on Monday, Al-Sunni called for support for sincere national efforts that seek to produce a comprehensive Libyan national solution.

Al-Sunni expressed his regret for not holding the electoral vote that all the Libyan people aspire to, in order to get out of the vicious circle, renew legitimacy, and end the current division.

The Libyan representative to the United Nations expressed his support for the efforts of the UN envoy to Libya, Abdullah Batili, his proposals to get out of the current political crisis, and his attempts to find a dialogue format that would bring together the five main Libyan parties to discuss the challenges that hinder the completion of the political process and the holding of general elections.

Al-Sunni stressed the importance of having a common ground for the success of such a dialogue, and for everyone to deal positively with the preparatory meetings, without preconditions, in order to give precedence to the public interest and compromise for the sake of the homeland, and for the purpose of this dialogue to be primarily to resolve the controversial points and find a state of consensus among everyone in order to create the appropriate conditions to complete the presidential and parliamentary elections, to end divisions, end all fragile transitional stages, and respond to the aspirations of the Libyan people who are fed up with the vicious circle and the current situation.

Al-Sunni pointed out that people are fed up with the double standards that were exposed during the brutal aggression against Gaza, stressing that it is shameful for countries that view us with human rights principles to continue their approach.
