The Security Council today (10 May) expressed deep concern about the instability in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, and the “worsening humanitarian situation which is endangering the lives innocent civilians and threatens the prospects for a political solution.”
Ambassador Dian Triansyah Djani of Indonesia, who holds the presidency of the Council for the month of May, said, “lasting peace and stability in Libya will come only through a political solution.”
The Council, he said, “supports the efforts of UN Special Representative Ghassan Salamé and the UN Support Mission in Libya to help avoid further escalation” and calls “for all parties rapidly to return to United Nations political mediation and to commit to a ceasefire and de-escalation to help mediation succeed.”
Libyan National Army (LNA) forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar launched an attack on Tripoli on 4 April, upending a national peace conference initially scheduled for April 14-16.
