On Thursday, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Abdullah Batili, accompanied by a team from the mission, conducted a visit to the city of Tarhuna, during which he met with members of the municipal council, a number of city notables, academics, activists, and families of victims of human rights violations.
Patelli said through his account on the “X” platform that he discussed, in an open dialogue session with the attendees, “the current political crisis and the responsibility of the political elites for its continuation.”
The UN envoy added that the participants in the meeting expressed to him “their dissatisfaction with the systematic marginalization to which the city is subjected, and demanded justice and their effective involvement in the political process, the path of reconciliation, and the development process. They also expressed their fear of the potential impact of the continued political division on the unity of Libya.”
Batelli urged Libyan leaders to “take lessons from history to avoid repeating its dark chapters,” and stressed that “reaching a political agreement through dialogue, including on a unified government, is necessary to hold elections, restore legitimacy to Libyan institutions, and ensure sustainable peace.”
