Prolonged stalemateAdvertisement ›Libya has remained mired in crisis since the postponement of national elections, originally planned for December 2021. The impasse between rivals Government of National Unity (GNU) based in Tripoli (in the West), and the eastern-based Government of National Stability (GNS) which is aligned with the House of Representatives (HoR) and the Libyan National Army (LNA). The stalemate has been driving the country’s political, security and economic instability, including contributing to the scale of destruction and tragic loss of life caused by Storm Daniel in Derna and surrounding areas in September. Preconditions by some actors“I am pleased to report that none of the institutional players outrightly rejected my invitation,” Mr. Bathily added, explaining that some set out conditions for their participation. “This not only infringes their fundamental rights but also erodes the rule of law in Libya and further reduces public trust in the justice system and political process,” Mr. Bathily said.
