There is hardly anything left to suggest that the presidential election in Libya will take place next Friday as planned.
It should have been an important milestone on the path accompanied by the United Nations to stabilize the civil war country.
By postponing the election, the country is losing valuable time again - and that because some Libyan actors and their external supporters are still unwilling to reach out to find a solution that all Libyans can agree to.
They are frivolously jeopardizing the pacification that has been achieved since the Libya Conference in Berlin at the beginning of 2020, and are reopening rifts that were believed to have been overcome.
A tailor-made electoral law
The electoral law that Parliament passed two months ago did not show any honest intention to hold fair elections.
Because the MPs have tailor-made it for the rebel general Haftar, whom Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, France and Russia are supporting.
The MPs did not even submit it to the Presidential Committee, which would have to sign the law in order for it to come into force.
The camp around the power-conscious Haftar continues to lose credibility as a result of this procedure, and the international community must be asked why it did not raise its voice against these machinations.
