The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily, has called for international support to help Libya overcome its crisis. Bathily made the remarks after attending a consultative meeting of the Arab foreign ministers in the Libyan capital Tripoli, during which issues of common concern were discussed. “I call on all international stakeholders, including Libya’s neighbors, to speak with one voice and step up their support to help Libya overcome its long-term crisis,” Bathliy tweeted. Libya failed to hold general elections in December 2021 as previously scheduled due to disagreements over election laws among the Libyan parties. The participants of the meeting expressed their support for stability in Libya, the unity of the Arab position, as well as the efforts of the UN Support Mission in Libya to achieve stability and support the Libyan elections, Al-Mangoush added.
