Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaiba has welcomed the signing of a UNSMIL-brokered agreement by the 4+4 Mini-Dialogue Committee, calling it a key move toward ending Libya's political division and advancing national elections.
Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaiba has publicly endorsed the agreement signed by the "4+4" Mini-Dialogue Committee, which was facilitated by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). Aldabaiba described the development as a significant milestone in efforts to conclude Libya's prolonged transitional period and move toward holding national elections.
In his statement, Aldabaiba reiterated his government's longstanding position that the legitimacy of Libya's institutions must be determined by the will of the people through free and fair elections. He emphasized that the agreement should not serve to extend existing transitional arrangements or bodies, but rather to pave the way for a unified and stable political environment.
Agreement Seen as Pathway to Stability
The signing of the agreement by the "4+4" Mini-Dialogue Committee is viewed by Aldabaiba as reinforcing the priority of elections as the only route to ending Libya's institutional fragmentation. He expressed hope that this step would help restore legitimacy to state institutions and enable the country to focus on reconstruction and long-term stability.
Next Steps for Libya's Political Process
While the agreement is seen as a positive development, its practical impact will depend on implementation and the willingness of Libya's political actors to follow through. The coming period will be critical in determining whether the agreement leads to concrete progress toward elections and a unified government, or if further obstacles will emerge.
