UN, Tunisian diplomats urge end to mobilization of armed groups in Libya

The Acting Head of the U.N. Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Raisedon Zenenga, and Tunisian Ambassador to Libya, Lassâd Laajili, convened a meeting on Monday to “exchange views on developments on the political, security and economic tracks” in the country, according to a statement by UNSMIL.

Both diplomats stressed “the imperative to end the current mobilization of armed groups and agree on a path to elections as the only way out of the political impasse.”

“Mr. Zenenga expressed appreciation to Tunisia for its role in promoting consensus among Libyan actors, and for supporting a Libyan-led, Libyan-owned dialogue,” said the U.N. Mission. “He also commended the Tunisian government’s ongoing support for UNSMIL.”
