UN Secretary-General has called for calm in amid the political strife during a phone call with Fathi Bashagha, one of the two competing Prime Ministers in the country. In the phone call, the Secretary-general and Bashagha discussed the latest developments in Libya, said Stephane Dujarric, Guterres' spokesman. Guterres expressed deep concern at the ongoing political polarization in Libya, which carries significant risks for Libya's hard-won stability. Guterres added that the current stalemate required urgent dialogue to find a consensual way forward and reiterated his full support to mediation efforts carried out by his special adviser on Libya, Stephanie Williams, said the spokesman. So he is supporting Stephanie Williams.
