Political analyst Faraj Farkash considered the structured dialogue, supervised by UN Envoy Hanna Tetteh, to be a significant opportunity, perhaps one of the most important in years, provided it does not reproduce the same past mistakes that have stalled the paths to a political solution in Libya.
Farkash explained, in special statements to Al Arabiya channel, that relying on the current political bodies, such as the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, shows early signs of failure, especially given the ongoing disputes between them over election laws, the structure of the High National Elections Commission, and the formation of a new government.
Farkash added that the UN Mission’s efforts are characterized by confusion and the repetition of past failed solutions, calling for a focus on the constitutional track and the unification of security, military, and the two governments, as this is the basis for any realistic and sustainable political settlement.
Farkash emphasized that the real bet is not on the dialogue itself, but on the participating parties, suggesting they will not escape the influence of the key powers in the East and West. He noted that the dialogue’s success depends on implementing its outcomes and forming unified executive and security institutions, supported by internal national forces that seek real change, not power-sharing and remaining in the scene.
