Instability in Libya
The resurgence of violence like this after the 2020 peace accord poses new obstacles to stability even eleven years after the Arab Spring. The two factions were, however, gradually persuaded to unite as a Government of National Accord (GNA) in December 2015. Even Russia and some western leaders want some significant role for him in the coveted government of united Libya. A High National Elections Commission (HNEC), was constituted to manage the contest and over five thousand candidates filed their nominations for them by 7 December 2021, set as the last date for enrolment. The recent wave of violence especially its spillover to Misrata or other regions thus could once again rock the UN efforts and strategies to usher peace, democracy and stability in Libya.
