Morocco hails UN-brokered deal as genuine process to end Libya crisis
The UN-brokered agreement signed by Libyan warring factions in 2015 remains the only genuine and practical process to end crisis in Libya, this is according to Moroccan Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita.
The deal was supposed to help form a national unity government that would not only bring stability to Libya but head off an increasing threat from Islamic State extremists.
In a statement released on Monday, Bourita told the press that Morocco has a “clear and consistent” stance which consists in supporting Libya, the political process in this country and the dialogue between the various parties.
Morocco has worked to put all stakeholders in the best position possible to reach the Skhirat agreement,
Bourita said that this agreement, which constitutes a common basis for all Libyans, could be adapted, if necessary, to current circumstances.
He urged the Libyan stakeholders to speed up the process of the implementation of the Libyan Political Agreement to allow the Libyan people to choose their legitimate institutions through free and fair elections.
Libyan parties are also been asked to show wisdom and to ensure that the interests of the Libyan people and Libya prevail over any other considerations.
The visiting Libyan officials met also with the speaker of the Moroccan House of Representatives Habib El Malki.
