Massad Boulos: No Room for Further Delay in Implementing the Unification of Libyan Institutions

Tripoli, November 14, 2026 (LANA) – Massad Boulos, Advisor to the U.S. President for Arab and African Affairs, confirmed that significant progress has been made in the process of unifying Libyan institutions—including military, financial, judicial, and electoral bodies. He noted that a comprehensive and clear framework for this unification has been established, garnering broad support both domestically and internationally.

In a post on the platform "X," Boulos emphasized the necessity of moving forward with the implementation of what has been agreed upon, asserting that there is no longer any room for further delays, excuses, or obstruction.

He explained that leaders from eastern and western Libya have worked for over a year to advance an initiative aimed at unifying military, political, judicial, and economic institutions, paving the way for national parliamentary and presidential elections.

He noted that the United States, in cooperation with its regional, Arab, and international partners, has provided support, assistance, and encouragement to this Libyan-led process, reaffirming a continued commitment to backing it until it is successfully implemented.

He added that the progress achieved regarding the unification of military structures, budgets, electoral processes, and the judiciary serves as a continuation of the efforts exerted by the United States and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). The U.S. Presidential Advisor affirmed that the Libyan people deserve unified institutions, lasting stability, democratic elections, and economic prosperity. He noted that the success of this process is not only essential for Libya’s future but also a vital factor in strengthening peace, security, and stability throughout the region.

Boulos warned that any individuals or groups seeking to undermine or obstruct the implementation of the unification process would face consequences. He clarified that the United States and its allies—in line with existing UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2835—are prepared to take appropriate measures against those who hinder Libya’s path toward unity, stability, and the holding of elections.

He reiterated the firm commitment of the United States to supporting the process and ensuring its successful implementation, emphasizing that the agreement on a unification framework, combined with ongoing international support, makes the transition to actual implementation a top priority.
