How were the boycott calls reflected on famous “brands”?

Abdullah Batili, the UN envoy to Libya, ignored the accusations leveled against him by Osama Hammad, the head of the government appointed by the Libyan House of Representatives, of “bias and entrenching division,” and proceeded to mobilize locally and externally for a meeting of the “main parties,” or what he called the “Big Five.” The dialogue table, in order to reach a political settlement regarding the disputes in the upcoming elections.

While Batelli moved in the Arab world to support his proposal to meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad, Nasser Bourita, Hammad criticized the “exclusion” of his government from attending the upcoming meeting, “while the Presidential Council and the Interim Government of National Unity were invited to participate in the meeting.” They are two entities emerging from previous agreements, and their term and mandate have expired.

Those following Batelli’s tours are betting on the extent of his ability to make a breakthrough in the issue of the suspended elections, and whether he will resort to changing the strategy of dealing in the future with what he called the “Big Five” or not? These five are the Commander-in-Chief of the “National Army”, Khalifa Haftar, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila. Saleh, in addition to Mohamed Al-Manfi, head of the Presidential Council, and Abdel Hamid Al-Dabaiba, head of the interim “National Unity” government, along with Mohamed Takala, head of the Supreme Council of State.

In a press statement yesterday evening (Thursday), Hammad’s government condemned what it described as the “double standards” of the mission and its head in dealing with the Libyan issue, as this “raises a question about the will of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General and the extent of his ability to make the right decisions.” Hammad’s government also declared the “illegitimacy” of any dialogues or negotiations that “do not equate the legitimate institutions elected by the people, and the institutions that resulted from them, with those who seized power by force of arms, or those who came with temporary international agreements.”

In this context, the Hammad government called on the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, to “put the mission and the special envoy in the balance of research and investigation,” and considered that he “is not fit to manage the Libyan crisis,” because he is “biased with one party over the other.” It entrenches division and fragmentation among Libyans,” stressing “its absolute and unconditional support for achieving the aspirations of the Libyan people, and devoting their right to elect their president and legitimate representatives, according to what the Libyans themselves decide, without tendentious external dictates or internal corruption,” stressing that it refuses to hold any meetings that are not An essential party to it, and will not recognize any outcomes from these meetings, and their results are not binding on it.

Hammad’s government increased its escalation by calling on Guterres to “appoint a new envoy to head the UN mission, who will be chosen according to the criteria of neutrality, competence and integrity.”

In turn, the House of Representatives affirmed, today (Friday), its refusal to participate in any dialogue or political agreement that “does not respect the Libyan will and the legitimate institutions elected by the Libyan people, and the executive institutions that emerged from them,” expressing its reservations about not inviting Hammad’s government appointed by the House of Representatives. To the meeting announced by Batelli. The Council said in a statement that it also rejects “repeating previous experiences, which have not been proven effective in resolving the Libyan crisis,” and that it will not accept any outcomes that duplicate what was previously taken by the UN mission.

Several Libyan politicians received Batelli’s invitation to Libya’s leaders to hold a meeting with “surprise,” considering that they are the “cause of the political blockage” that the country is suffering from, due to each party’s adherence to what it deems appropriate for it to remain in power.

The UN envoy had previously directed several criticisms at different parties in Libya, due to their lack of agreement regarding the election laws, and Musa Al-Koni, a representative in the Presidential Council, reported that the first informed him that “if the elections were held according to the current laws, they would clash with the same contradictory parties, which he called (the Big Five), because they were “They will not hand over power to whoever is elected.”

Political circles in Libya continued to await the UN mission’s action regarding the state of stagnation dominating the political scene, after the failure of the House of Representatives and the “state” to reach a solution regarding the election laws, until Batelli announced on Thursday that he had sent invitations to “institutional actors” to hold a meeting. To discuss the next steps for the expected eligibility.

Diplomatic missions in Libya, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany, were quick to announce that they “warmly welcomed” Batelli’s invitation, and in their statement they also urged “the parties to take advantage of this opportunity to put Libya on the path to stability and long-term prosperity for all its citizens.” .

Following the new international movements, Al-Manfi met yesterday evening (Thursday) in Takala, and the meeting focused on developments in the local and regional political situation, in addition to unifying the efforts of his council and the “Supreme State Council” with the rest of the institutions emerging from the political agreement, to reach a comprehensive political settlement that achieves stability. To the presidential elections. While the Supreme Council of State said that Takala and Al-Manfi discussed “ways to advance the political process and break the mortgage deadlock, and the initiative planned to be launched by Batelli, related to the two entitlement laws, and how to reach it.”

In a different matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, affiliated with the national “unity” government, said that the Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in the Council of Ministers, in charge of managing the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Al-Tahir Al-Baour, met in the city of Oyala in Equatorial Guinea with the Special Representative of the Chinese government for African Affairs, Liu Yue Shi. To discuss continued support for efforts to stabilize Libya.

During the meeting, Al-Baour affirmed Libya’s position in support of unifying the African position regarding the ongoing negotiations. Explaining that China can play an important role in supporting the African demand to obtain the continent’s full rights in the Security Council. The meeting also discussed China’s aspiration to coordinate cooperation with Libya within the framework of its membership in the Group of Ten of the African Union, which is concerned with negotiating the course of the UN Security Council reform process, and the effort for the African continent to obtain two permanent seats in the Council.
