Tunis, 17 January 2018:
A group of Libyan political activists, media specialists and diplomats issued a joint statement today condemning the latest militia fighting in Tripoli. They welcomed efforts to re-establish a legitimate and unified Libyan army accountable to the civilian legitimate authorities.
The full statement read as follows:
A STATEMENT ISSUED BY A GROUP OF LIBYAN POLITICAL ACTIVISTS, MEDIA SPECIALISTS AND DIPLOMATS
The signatories of this statement are following with great concern the situation that our country Libya has reached, including the aggravated suffering of its citizens. Whilst they are keen to continue the democratic process to reach and implement a solution in a state of security chaos and the absence of state monopolizing the use of weapons, they strongly reject the continued tampering with the security of the state and the citizens by the armed groups.
They welcome the efforts of the Armed Forces Unification Committee, which has held several meetings in Cairo, Egypt, and look forward to seeing the results of its work as soon as possible, as well as looking forward to assistance in implementing these results by all authorities, non-official bodies and political actors as soon as it is issued.
The unification of the armed forces and establishing its structures on national, scientific and technical bases according to international standards has become an urgent need, especially as the country is preparing to organize legislative and presidential elections to get out of the transitional phase. This process cannot be implemented if the government does not have the tools to impose security and the rule of law.
The signatories to this statement urge all political actors to refrain from any action that would put the armed forces in political squabbles or obstruct the efforts of their leaders aimed at unifying them in the interest of the country and the preservation of its sovereignty and security.
May Allah save Libya and grant Libyans success and well-being.
