The British Embassy in Libya has announced that it has joined the United Nations Support Mission in Libya in expressing its grave concern about the increasing risk of violence in Tripoli.
The embassy called on all parties, through its account on the “X” platform, to use their influence to reduce the intensity of the conflict and enter into a peaceful dialogue to resolve political differences.
Earlier, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya expressed its deep concern over reports of a build-up of forces in the capital, Tripoli, including threats to use force to resolve the crisis surrounding the Central Bank of Libya.
In a statement, the mission called for immediate calm, reducing tension and self-restraint, stressing that dialogue is the only solution to all contentious issues.
The statement indicated that the United Nations Support Mission in Libya is conducting intensive contacts with all concerned parties to reach a peaceful agreement to resolve the crisis regarding the Central Bank.
The UN mission stressed that the display of military force and armed confrontations in populated neighborhoods is unacceptable and threatens the lives, security and tranquility of civilians. It considers that these movements cannot produce an acceptable or practical solution to the current crisis or the prolonged political stalemate, but rather sees them as an additional reason that exacerbates the crisis and reduces the chances of reaching a political solution.
