Scheduled for April, the Sirte National Reconciliation Summit is backed by the UN and the African Union. Othman Ben Sassi, a political analyst and former member of Libya’s disbanded post-2011 National Transitional Council, said that Libyans had lost faith in the reconciliation process. Mr Ben Sassi spoke after the abrupt cancellation of another reconciliation meeting, which had been expected on Wednesday and Thursday in the Tunisian capital, Tunis. Observers say there is no political will for reconciliation among Libya's political actors, with some benefiting from the turmoil. Ms Elwheshi believes that the only resolution to the country’s stalemate is a comprehensive political reconciliation.
