The Libyan Al-Wefaq government stressed the need to ensure that the security arrangements related to the ceasefire in the country ensure that vital cities and sites are not threatened in the future, while the United States renews its support for Libya's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Libyan Accord Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj said that the military track is the test, and in light of its results, the other two tracks, political and economic, are moving or standing.
Al-Sarraj's statements came during a meeting he held with the officers participating in the "5 + 5" military committee emanating from the Berlin conference to follow the developments of the military-security track adopted by the conference.
An American official in Misurata
Meanwhile, the Chargé d'Affaires of the American Embassy in Libya, Joshua Harris, visited the city of Misurata, and met with Ahmad Maitiq, Vice-President of the Presidential Council, and Minister of Interior Fathi Pashaga, according to a statement of the American Embassy in Tripoli.
The statement said the visit came to consult with Libyan leaders to thwart the military escalation in Sirte and Jafra, and reopen the energy sector in Libya.
The statement pointed out that Harris renewed the support of the United States for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Libya, stressing the urgent need to leave foreign forces and mercenaries.
The American official expressed the embassy’s readiness to work with a comprehensive group of Libyan figures from all over the country that reject foreign interference, and reiterated his country's respect for the contributions of the Misrata forces affiliated with the Libyan government in combating terrorism.
Discussions in Rabat
In Rabat, Khaled al-Mashri, head of the Supreme Council of State in Libya, called for amending some provisions of the Skhirat agreement.
During a joint press conference in Rabat with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, Al-Mishri said that the departure from the political agreement complicated the Libyan crisis, and stressed the necessity of reviewing the Skhirat agreement and filling its gaps.
For his part, Bouraita said that Morocco seeks to bridge the points of view between the Libyan parties, and that the increasing initiatives are part of the crisis.
With regard to the Skhirat agreement, the Moroccan minister made it clear that there are things that must be developed to coincide with the difficulties faced by the first formula.
The Moroccan Foreign Minister had met earlier Aqila Saleh, Speaker of the House of Representatives in Tobruk, and discussed with him the latest developments in the Libyan crisis.
Aqila Saleh confirmed that there was no meeting between him and Khaled al-Mashri, and added that he asked Morocco to support efforts to reach a solution to the Libyan crisis with the aim of forming a new executive authority to take over the country for an interim period, pending the organization of elections and the drafting of a constitution.
Riyadh supports Cairo's position
In parallel political developments, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry held talks in Cairo with his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan, on the crisis in Libya and common issues between the two countries.
In joint press statements absent from the developments of the Renaissance Dam file, Shukry said that his country seeks to achieve peace and stability in Libya, but there are still no mechanisms to implement a political solution in the country in exchange for the expansion of the foreign fighters area, as he put it.
For his part, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan said that Saudi Arabia supports the Egyptian position on Libya, and stressed the need to remove Libya from what he called foreign interference.
Since 2011, Libya has witnessed a conflict between two authorities: the United Nations-recognized National Accord Government based in Tripoli, and Major General Khalifa Haftar, who controls the east of the country and part of the south and is supported by the elected parliament based in Tobruk.
Many parties entered the Libyan conflict streak. On the one hand, they support Haftar: Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia, while Turkey supports the government of national reconciliation.
