UN General Assembly
2023

In my capacity as Chairman of the African Union High-Level Committee on Libya. I cannot remain silent before the Assembly concerning the tragic situation which that country has been experiencing since 2011. It is a situation in which I am deeply invested in the name of the African Union. The peace efforts made within the framework of that thorny issue continued recently, in July, in the context of a reconciliation meeting that took place in Brazzaville, in my country, and that allowed several actors representing the heart of Libyan political and social sensitivities to sit at the same table. Everything was done to persuade the protagonists to transcend their differences and to ally their understandings of the challenges facing tomorrow’s Libya.
