Morocco’s mediation efforts previously culminated with the Skhirate Agreement in 2015 establishing a unity government, called the Government of National Accord (GNA). Bourita said that the Skhirate agreement offers a basis for settling the Libyan crisis. In the meanwhile, Algeria’s Minister for Maghreban and African Affairs Abdelkader Messahel has undertaken a second tour in Libya’s south without informing Libyan authorities. This act has been viewed by Libyan officials as a meddling in the country’s internal crisis. In a statement, the Parliament denounced the Algerian Minister’s violation of Libya’s sovereignty and warned of the “consequences” of this Algerian meddling.
