TunisiaEU deeply concerned by the situation in Libya
The European Union Delegation issued yesterday the following statement in agreement with the EU Heads of Mission to Libya:
“We are deeply concerned by the military buildup underway in Libya and the escalatory rhetoric which seriously risks leading to an uncontrollable confrontation. We urge all parties to immediately de-escalate tensions and cease all acts of provocation. There can be no military solution to the Libyan crisis.”
“The Libyan people deserve to live in peace and security. The current situation requires decision makers to act responsibly and finally put the national interest first.”
“The EU fully supports the mediating efforts of UN SRSG Ghassan Salame including the meetings recently held in Abu Dhabi. The upcoming National Conference scheduled in a few days offers an historic opportunity for all segments of Libyan society to agree on the political roadmap that will end the transition. We urge all parties to seize the opportunity of the visit of UN Secretary General António Guterres to engage in a spirit of compromise in order to avoid further bloodshed and build a better future for all Libyans.”
