Morocco warned the UN Security Council about the deteriorating security, political and economic conditions in Libya which foreign intervention will further worsen. Speaking at a virtual meeting of dozen foreign ministers on Libya, Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita reiterated Morocco’s position in support of the UN Skhirate agreement, noting that multiplying initiatives will be counterproductive. “We have to show realism and pragmatism in dealing with the situation (in Libya) as the proliferation of initiatives will be counterproductive,” he said. Its provisions have to be adjusted to and updated by the brothers in Libya,” he said. While deploring that the coronavirus pandemic did not help avert the degradation of conditions in Libya, Bourita stressed the need for reaching an international joint action in good faith benefiting Libya’s security and stability.
