Libyan conflict parties sign a permanent ceasefire agreement

On Friday, the security mission announced that the two parties of the conflict have reached a ceasefire agreement in Libya.

The United Nations envoy to Libya, Stephanie Williams, said that the Libyan parties signed a ceasefire agreement, noting that what has been achieved constitutes a milestone in the future of Libya.

The United Nations envoy to Libya stated, "We hope that the agreement will succeed in returning the displaced to their homes."

Last Wednesday, Stephanie Williams expressed her optimism about the negotiations and meetings that take place between the parties to the conflict on several levels. The positive atmosphere is likely to continue, which has already resulted in an agreement in the end.

Williams announced that the meeting in Geneva reached consensus on many important decisions, including the need to continue the military de-escalation, as well as opening the air and land routes.

She also stressed that foreign interference in a country that has been mired for years in conflict and fighting is massive and unacceptable.

With regard to the issue of the departure of mercenaries, she explained that the parties agreed during two rounds of negotiations of the 5 + 5 security committee that all mercenaries of any party belonging to the country should leave within 90 days, after forming a unified government.

She revealed that the Libyan parties have already reached confidence-building measures between them, adding that there is great optimism in reaching a permanent ceasefire.
