Representative in the Presidential Council, Musa Al-Koni, held a dialogue session with a number of leading and social figures in the municipality of Tripoli, which included elite politicians, academics, thinkers, and notables of Tripoli.

During the session, “the latest developments in the situation in the country at various levels were reviewed, and the role of the Presidential Council in achieving stability, achieving the electoral entitlement, with the success of the national reconciliation project, addressing the current political impasse, and the threat of division that has been lurking in the country for years.”

According to what the Presidential Council published, “The dialogue was characterized by serious and active discussion on a number of topics that touch the daily life of citizens at all levels, especially political affairs, elections, the national reconciliation project, and the Presidential Council’s slowness in announcing the establishment of the High Commission for National Reconciliation and naming a person to head it.”

Participants in the dialogue reviewed “the visions, ideas, and projects that contribute to getting Libya out of the state of political impasse, achieving stability, and carrying out the electoral process that all Libyans aspire to.”

While Mr. Representative enriched the session with absolute transparency in his response to the participants’ inquiries about a number of topics, by reviewing the efforts of the Presidential Council that aim to achieve stability, by holding elections whose results are satisfactory to all parties, which were prevented from being held due to the current political impasse.

The Representative also reviewed the efforts aimed at the success of the national reconciliation project, which has reached advanced stages, by benefiting from the experiences of countries that preceded Libya in the field of national reconciliation.

In the same context, he affirmed his confidence in the existence of political and social elites who have the ability to contribute to finding a solution to the Libyan crisis, and to block the path to the parties that want to continue to implement their own interests.

In his response to the questions of the participants in the dialogue about the Parliament’s decision to withdraw the status of Supreme Commander from the Presidential Council and grant it to himself, Al-Koni described it as “an invalid decision,” saying: “There is no country in the world in which the Parliament is the Supreme Commander of the Army, and the Presidential Council and its powers came According to the political agreement.”

Al-Koni pointed out, “that the Presidential Council has the authority to issue presidential decrees, aiming to save the country from sliding into chaos,” explaining that “the decisions of the Presidential Council are taken unanimously by its members and not individually.”

In his conversation with the leadership and social elites, he stressed “the necessity of the independence of the judiciary and non-interference in its jurisdiction and the implementation of the rulings issued by it. He praised the role of civil society institutions and warned against their dependence on the state so that they can perform the tasks assigned to them as it is the heartbeat and voice of the nation.”

The representative concluded the dialogue, “by praising the city of Tripoli, which embraces all the elites and thinkers from all regions of Libya, and which has been burdened by all the nation’s concerns over the years.”

The representative reviewed his vision “regarding the return of the governorate system, which ensures that all regions and components of the Libyan people obtain their rights through handing over the governorates their budgets to manage their projects, and to bring services closer to the citizens in their regions, as it is the most effective solution for the country to emerge from its current crisis, with the presence of sovereign institutions within them.”
