Libya Peace Efforts To Continue: UN Envoy

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght-UN envoy Bernardino Leon insisted Wednesday that troubled Libyan peace talks were not yet over amid increasing atrocities by ISIS terrorists group in the North African country.
Leon said the coming days would be crucial in determining the future in his mission to broker a deal between the North African nation's rival parliaments in the capital Tripoli and the eastern town of Tobruk.
For several months now, the UN envoy has been attempting to come up with a compromise between the conflicting claims of the two assemblies that will allow the formation of a unity government to tackle the rise of jihadist groups and people smuggling across the Mediterranean to Europe.
Leon's peace plan calls for an accord to be reached by September 20, ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, with the government coming into force a month later.
A two-year transitional government would work towards organizing parliamentary elections, under the terms being discussed.
Leon said a deal on creating a unity government could be reached "in the coming days", but that difficult work remained before a final accord.
The emergence of ISIS terrorist group in Libya and the country's emergence as a smuggling hub for migrants risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean have added urgency to the long-running and often derailed UN talks.
According to Leon last week on Thursday, ISIS terrorists had "in the last hours" taken control of the offices of the Libyan central bank and several private banks in the coastal city of Sirte, calling it a "very concerning and very serious development".
On Monday the Libyan branch of ISIS released a video purportedly showing the execution of a Tunisian for spying on behalf of Libya's internationally recognized government.
The footage showed the man in an orange jumpsuit and blindfolded, kneeling in front of a group of armed men in the eastern city of Benghazi.
