Libya: UN mission chief laments lack of progress towards national renewal

“ We are not where we would like to be in terms of progress on the roadmap ,” said Hanna S. Tetteh, who also heads the UN Support Mission in Libya ( UNSMIL ) – a country that remains divided between two rival administrations.

“Some Libyan actors continue to disregard the expectations of the public regarding their participation in political processes, or towards exercising political leadership based on democratic legitimacy ,” she said.

“There are both national and regional risks to any continued inaction and foot dragging on the implementation of the roadmap and we believe it is important to recognize this now .”
