Al-Sunni: Libyan oil not a bargaining chip
The Libyan delegate to the United Nations, Taher Suni, emphasized the importance of turning the principle of Libyans owning the political process into a reality that guarantees their right to determine the future of their country. He called for supporting the role of national institutions rather than foreign intervention. He pointed out that tangible results have been achieved from the unified financial agreement, which contributed to reducing the gap between revenues and expenditures by approximately 24 billion dinars. Additionally, the outcomes of the 4+4 small dialogue committee facilitated quick understandings on election-related issues, such as laws for presidential and parliamentary elections, and the mechanism for selecting the High Electoral Commission. He stressed the necessity of conducting free and fair elections based on just laws, while respecting national initiatives and avoiding parallel tracks that could deepen divisions. He warned of the risks of ongoing divisions, especially within the House of Representatives, and underscored the importance of respecting institutions and maintaining UN oversight in a neutral manner. He also condemned the targeting of oil facilities in western Libya, affirming that the country's wealth belongs to the people, and called for holding accountable those responsible for disrupting production and smuggling. He concluded by reaffirming Libya's sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of regional and international partnerships based on equality and respect for sovereignty.
