The current president of the Security Council, Abdou Abarry of Niger, was more forthright in his criticism of the election, the first to be held since the uprising that toppled former strongman Moamer Kadhafi in 2011. “Foreign fighters are still in Libya, the dividing line of the conflict remains frozen, there is no real reunification of the forces,” he told a press conference. “As a neighboring country, we want there to be a process of demobilization, done in perfect harmony with the neighboring countries from which these forces originate,” he said. “The situation is not mature enough to allow a type of elections that can lead to lasting stability and security in Libya, “ he said. Out of a population of seven million, some 2.4 million Libyans have received their voter cards.
