Morocco is committed to a political, mutually acceptable and lasting solution that would restore Libya’s stability, unity and safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said. “The Maghreb needs a stable Libya in the same way that Europe needs a stable Maghreb,” Bourita said at the UN’s international conference on Libya held in Paris Tuesday. The status quo is untenable, he said, noting that the conflict in Libya requires doubling efforts to bring closer the different warring parties in Libya. While underscoring the importance of the engagement of the international community, Bourita warned of the interferences of some parties in the Libyan mayhem. The four key Libyan leaders agreed at the event to an ambitious plan to stage “credible, peaceful” parliamentary and legislative elections in the country on 10 December.
