Tripoli:Massad Boulos, Advisor to the U.S. President for Arab and African Affairs, has confirmed that significant progress has been made in unifying Libyan institutions. These include military, financial, judicial, and electoral bodies, under a framework that has received broad support both domestically and internationally.
According to Libyan News Agency, Boulos emphasized the necessity of moving forward with the implementation of the agreed-upon framework, asserting that there is no longer room for further delays or excuses. He highlighted the efforts of leaders from eastern and western Libya, who have been advancing an initiative for over a year to unify the country's institutions, paving the way for national parliamentary and presidential elections.
The United States, along with its regional and international partners, has provided support to this Libyan-led process. Boulos reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to backing the initiative until it is fully implemented, emphasizing that the unification of military structures, budgets, electoral processes, and the judiciary is essential for Libya’s future and regional stability.
Boulos warned that any attempts to undermine or obstruct the unification process would face consequences. He assured that the United States and its allies are prepared to take appropriate measures against those hindering Libya’s path to unity and elections, in line with UN Security Council resolutions. The Advisor reiterated the firm commitment of the United States to support the process, making its successful implementation a top priority.
