International monitors of the Libyan ceasefire will hold a meeting the 5+5 Joint Military Committee and the Libyan monitors in Sirte in early August, the United Nations announced on Monday.
Addressing the Security Council during a Libya briefing, the U.N. Assistant to Secretary-General for Africa Martha Pobee said the purpose of the meeting in Sirte is to “finalize a proposed plan for the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries.”
