U.S. Ambassador and Envoy to Libya, Richard Norland, met with delegations of Tebu and Ahaalis from Murzuq in Southern Libya and congratulated them on their dialogue initiative led under the auspices of the National Network of Mediators, launching a peace process that would solve one of Libya’s biggest displacement crises, according to US Embassy in Libya.
He stressed that stability in Fezzan is critical for national reconciliation. After years of conflict, such local mediation initiatives are needed to support lasting peace in Libya, the Embassy said in a statement on Satirday.
Ambassador Norland added, “Tebu and Ahaali representatives gathered for this initiative are an example for all of Libya on how to make dialogue and reconciliation succeed for the betterment of all of its people.”
