On July 8, 2024, a crucial meeting took place in Rabat between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). This encounter, as highlighted by Stephanie Khoury, the acting special representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya, resulted in a mutual commitment to continue the dialogue regarding Libyas political process. This development marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to bring stability and peace to Libya.

In a press statement following her discussions with Nasser Bourita, Moroccos Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Living Abroad, Khoury emphasized the importance of sustaining the dialogue. We have agreed to continue the dialogue and discuss ways to advance the political process in Libya, under the auspices of the UN, for the benefit of the Libyan people, she stated. This commitment reflects a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges that Libya faces, and underscores the crucial roles that Morocco and the UN play in facilitating a resolution.

The meeting provided an invaluable opportunity for Khoury and Bourita to exchange views on Libyas current difficulties and the needs of its people. Khoury underscored that advancing the political process in Libya remains a priority for UNSMIL. The discussions not only reaffirmed the necessity of ongoing dialogue but also highlighted the importance of addressing the immediate needs of the Libyan population.

Khourys working visit to Morocco is part of her inaugural tour of regional countries, aimed at exploring potential solutions to the Libyan political crisis. This proactive approach signifies the UNs unwavering dedication to fostering peace and stability in Libya, while Moroccos involvement underscores its pivotal role in regional diplomacy.

The collaboration between Morocco and the UN is not new; it builds on a history of constructive engagement and dialogue. Moroccos strategic position and its diplomatic relations with various Libyan factions make it an indispensable player in the peace process. By continuing to support UNSMILs efforts, Morocco reinforces its commitment to regional stability and showcases its diplomatic acumen.

The needs of the Libyan people remain at the forefront of these discussions. The countrys prolonged instability has inflicted immense suffering, and addressing these humanitarian concerns is crucial. The dialogue facilitated by Morocco and the UN aims to not only advance the political process but also to deliver tangible benefits to the Libyan populace.

The journey toward peace in Libya is undoubtedly fraught with challenges. However, the steadfast commitment of Morocco and the UN to continue dialogue represents a significant step in the right direction. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of complex political crises, diplomacy and dialogue remain powerful tools for conflict resolution.

As the international community watches, the efforts of Morocco and the UN in Libya can serve as a model for resolving similar crises worldwide. Their partnership exemplifies how regional and international cooperation can pave the way for sustainable peace and development. The world must support these efforts, recognizing that the road to peace is built on the foundations of persistent dialogue and mutual understanding.

In conclusion, the agreement between Morocco and the UN to continue their dialogue on Libyas political process is a testament to their commitment to peace and stability. It highlights the importance of ongoing communication and the role of regional diplomacy in addressing global challenges. As these efforts progress, the hope for a stable and prosperous Libya becomes ever more attainable.

STORY: :: The UN is investigating horrific reports of a

mass grave in Libya, says human rights chief

:: July 9, 2024

:: Geneva, Switzerland

:: Volker Turk, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights

In March this year a mass grave was discovered in south-western Libya, containing at least 65 bodies presumed to be migrants. As if this were not horrific enough, we are following up on reports of another mass grave recently discovered in the desert area at the Libyan-Tunisian border. I urge the authorities to respond swiftly to our inquiries, and to investigate these crimes fully. The loved ones of those who died have every right to know the truth. And the responsibility for investigating these crimes falls squarely with the Libyan authorities.

Volker Turk told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, that he denounced widespread violations against migrants and refugees in Libya, which straddles a dangerous transit route running through the Sahara Desert and across the southern Mediterranean.

He gave no further details of the suspected identity of the mass grave victims or how the site was found. A spokesperson at Turk's office said: "We have not received information from the authorities but we are continuing to follow up on this."

In March, at least 65 bodies of migrants were discovered at a mass grave site in southwest Libya's al-Jahriya valley about 260 miles (420 km) south of Tripoli, the U.N.-affiliated International Organization for Migration said.

Libya and Tunisia are both vital partners in the European Union's efforts to stem the flow of migrants across the Mediterranean from North Africa into southern Europe.

The National Development Agency, operating under the General Command, has signed an agreement with Turkish construction company TGG to develop the #Benghazi_Towers project. This initiative involves constructing three towers overlooking the 23rd of July Lake and the golf course near the sports city.

According to a source from the agency, the complex will be located in the Juliana area and will consist of three towers: the tallest at 124 meters, the second at 84 meters, and the third at 68 meters. The tallest tower will serve as office space for various companies and commercial activities, the second will be a hotel, and the third will be residential.

The source noted that TGG has experience in construction, operating in over 15 countries, including Libya. The construction phase of the project is expected to last one and a half years, with TGG managing the complex for two years after completion.

The project is divided into a residential tower, a hotel tower, and an office tower. The planned execution period for construction is one and a half years, followed by a two-year management and operation phase by the Turkish company.
