Pulbished on:
Tripoli, 8 March 2015(Lana) The participants in the Libyan
political dialogue talks, being conducted in Morocco, have been
unanimous in the need to form a national unity government, while the
UN Support Mission in Libya has said the antagonists would likely be
resuming the talks within days, after the meetings were concluded
yesterday in the Moroccan city of Al Sukheirat.
Representatives met face to face for the first time yesterday,
after they have met with UN representatives separately the last
rounds.
The Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya Bernardino Leon said
'the meeting which brought the two sides together was symbolic and
not part of the talks, yet it was important.'
The GNC Representative to the talks Saleh Al Makhzoum said the
third day talks have been positive, and the parties were in agreement
over several items which could accelerate the formation of the
government.
The President of the House of Representatives Mohamed Shueib said
'talks will be called off for several days, to allow representatives
the chance to return to Libya, for more discussion before submitting
their proposals and names of candidates to the forthcoming
government.
The Head of the National Dialogue Authority Al Fadil Al Amin said
the Morocco session has seen serious effort to reach a consensus on
ending the crisis.
There was no mention of names of candidates for the consentaneous
government, rather the focus was about its mission and fundamental
duties in the future, he said.
The talks which started on Thursday were conducted with
participation of representatives of the Libyan parties in the
presence of foreign ambassadors as observers.
The agenda of the talks included a ceasefire, restoring peace and
forming a national unity government.
The UN however said an important progress has been made in the
talks between Libyan parties during three days in Al sukheirat on the
outskirts of the Moroccan capital, in a bid to bring about a peaceful
solution to the conflict in Libya.
