It is fundamental to restore Libya’s stability to preserve regional security, the top UN envoy for the country said. Upholding Libya’s stability is even more critical now in light of the latest events, including the recent clashes in Tripoli, as well as the regional turmoil in Sudan and Niger, said Abdoulaye Bathily, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Libya, on Tuesday. In his briefing to the Security Council, Bathily reiterated that all elections-related issues in Libya should be resolved through discussions and compromises between all relevant actors. Citizens yearn for unified political, military, security, economic and social institutions to safeguard the territorial integrity and the national identity of the country, he added. “In that regard, a unified government, agreed upon by the major players, is an imperative for leading the country to elections,” said Bathily.
