The National Accord Bloc of the High Council of State (HCS) announced on Monday its denunciation of the statements of US Ambassador Richard Norlad on National Independence Day. The bloc expressed – in a statement – its condemnation of “the crude statements of the American ambassador, which are outside diplomatic decorum, and which express arrogance in dealing with Libyan sovereign institutions.”The National Accord Bloc made clear that interfering in Libyan political affairs with inappropriate statements is completely unacceptable. “The Libyan people have suffered terribly in the wake of the devastating flooding that hit eastern Libya. The solidarity they demonstrated was a clear reminder that Libyans remain united. We urge Libyan leaders to show similar unity of purpose and fulfill their responsibilities to the Libyan people in order to deliver long-term stability, security, and prosperity,” he added.
