Bashagha calls on all Libyan parties to a conciliatory speech
Fathi Bashagha, the head of the Libyan “stability” government, said that he asks “those who believe that he has wronged or transgressed against them to forgive what happened in the past and forgive the fact that people make mistakes and are right,” considering that his country “will not be stable except with the election of a president and parliament.”
Bashagha, whose government failed to enter the capital, Tripoli, from his hometown in the city of Misrata, called on all parties to a conciliatory speech, in order to build the state, promising that his country, which had suffered for a long time due to wars, conflicts, divisions, and the presence of two governments in the east and west, “is approaching a stage of stability».
He said that Libya’s lack of a unified government “contributed to the suffering of more than two million citizens and put them below the poverty line, and therefore everyone must work for the return of stability to the country.”
And he believed that the events that took place in Tripoli, during his government’s attempt to enter it, occurred as a result of “a lack of understanding, which led to chaos,” and caused a rift, especially in Misrata, which he described as “important for Libya, and Libya is important for it.”
It is noteworthy that a Libyan parliamentary delegation met in Moscow during the past two days, the head of the International Relations Committee in the State Duma, the head of the “Liberal Democratic” Party, Leonid Slutsky, in the presence of the Russian ambassador to Libya. The meeting dealt with the political situation in Libya.
Meanwhile, the Russian permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, said that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will chair an open discussion of the UN Security Council on the Middle East on April 25. Nebenzia added, according to the Russian “Tass” agency, yesterday, that the discussions will touch on the situations in Libya, Yemen and Syria.
