The French Embassy in Libya announced that it joined the United Nations Support Mission in Libya in expressing its concern about the risk of escalating tensions in response to possible attempts to use force.
In a post on its official Facebook page, the embassy called on all parties to engage in dialogue with each other to resolve their differences peacefully.
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.
