The two delegations of the Libyan Joint Military Committee (5 + 5) reached consensus on the terms of implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Libya, according to what the Acting United Nations Support Envoy for Libya, Stephanie Williams, revealed, and among those items the formation of a committee to oversee the exit of foreign forces from the country And the withdrawal of all forces from both sides to their camps on the lines of contact.

The UN envoy said, in a press conference at the end of the Ghadames talks: "There was agreement, in a spirit of responsibility, on the terms of implementing the ceasefire in Libya."

This was the first round of negotiations between the two conflicting parties inside Libya, as four meetings had already been held outside the country, the last of which was in Geneva on October 23, during which the 5 + 5 committee (five members from each party) signed an agreement for a permanent ceasefire in Libya.

Regarding the nature of these provisions, Williams explained that they are "12 items to implement the ceasefire, the most prominent of which is the formation of a military sub-committee to oversee the return of all foreign forces to their country, and the departure and withdrawal of all forces of the two sides to their camps on the lines of contact."

According to the agreement signed in Geneva at the end of last month, a period of 90 days was set for all foreign forces to leave the Libyan territories.

Williams said, "It was also agreed to hold the first meeting of the subcommittee in Sirte this month, in addition to setting a date for November 16, to hold a meeting in Buraiqa (east), to discuss unifying the Petroleum Facilities Guard.

The two parties agreed to establish joint military engineering teams to clear mines in cooperation with UN experts, and to immediately resume flights to the cities of Ghadames and Sabha (south), in addition to calling on the Security Council to issue a binding resolution to fully implement the provisions of the ceasefire agreement.

Sirte was chosen as the headquarters for the (5 + 5) committee, and Sirte and Jufrah were the headquarters for the Military Subcommittee.

In response to a question about the date of scheduling the departure of foreign forces, Williams said: "The agreement specified the time for the departure of these forces, and now the responsibility rests on the countries involved in bringing them, to implement their pledges and respect the Libyan consensus on the necessity of all these forces and mercenaries to leave the country."

She commended the two military delegations, who participated in these negotiations, and made clear that discussions would be held in Tunis in the coming days to discuss a roadmap with the politicians.

The Libyan Political Dialogue Forum will be held in Tunis, on the ninth of November.
