Hanna Tetteh, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, begins presenting her periodic briefing to the UN Security Council today, Wednesday, on the latest developments in Libya.
Tetteh: We have witnessed tangible progress in the political process in Libya since the last briefing; the 4+4 agreement represents a breakthrough in the political process, enjoys broad international support, and establishes an actionable path forward.
Tetteh: The (4+4) committee agreement represents a breakthrough in the political process and has laid important foundations that must be built upon.
Tetteh: The High Council of State’s rejection of the agreement reflects the lack of readiness among some of its members to engage in the political process; some members requested additional time for consultation and to move forward with the process, particularly regarding the agreement reached by the "4+4" small committee.
Tetteh: Approximately 30% to 40% of subsidized fuel in Libya is diverted to smuggling, resulting in losses exceeding $4.4 billion.
