The United Nations wants to find agreement on a road map for elections to resolve the prolonged instability in Libya, an oil producer and transit point for refugees and migrants trekking across the Sahara with the aim of reaching Europe.
“Egypt has supported from the beginning a political agreement as a tool to prevent any military solution” in Libya, Shoukry said during a joint news conference with visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov broadcast on state TV. There were no reports of significant fighting on Saturday, a day after an LNA spokesman and residents reported that Haftar’s forces had seized Tripoli’s former international airport.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres departed after meeting Haftar to try to avert full-blown civil war. “I leave Libya with a heavy heart and deeply concerned. I still hope it is possible to avoid a bloody confrontation in and around Tripoli,” he said on Twitter.
