The new U.N. special envoy for Libya warned Tuesday that the first anniversary of Libya’s postponed elections is quickly approaching and that further delaying a vote could lead the troubled north African nation to even greater instability, putting it “at risk of partition.”

A United Nations delegation, led by the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Libya, traveled to Sebha Monday to meet with southern government officials, tribal notables, academics, community-based organizations, women and youth, according to UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).

The U.N. Special Envoy to Libya Abdoulaye Bathily was briefed by the country’s Chairman of High Council of State, Khaled Al-Mishri, on the outcomes of the latter’s meeting Speaker of the House of Representative, Aguila Saleh, which took place in Morocco few days ago.
