 Libya's political process regains momentum, but window for action is narrowing, UN envoy warns
TRIPOLI,19 June 2026 - Libya has been mired in political dysfunction since the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi's regime in 2011, which shattered State institutions and triggered recurring struggles over legitimacy and power.
The country's current stalemate pits the UN-recognised Government of National Unity in the capital Tripoli against eastern-based authorities backed by the House of Representatives and General Haftar's Libyan National Army - a split that deepened after planned elections in December 2021 were postponed indefinitely.
A road map underway
Briefing the Security Council on Thursday, Hanna Tetteh, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Libya and head of the UN Support Mission (UNSMIL), said the political process had regained momentum, though progress remained fragile. - (ANA) -
