The head of Libya’s internationally recognized government Faiez Al-Serraj called on Tuesday for a renewal of U.N.-brokered talks to end divisions in the country amid increasing tensions in order to reach a comprehensive road map toward elections.

“The roadmap could include amending a landmark UN-brokered agreement to unite the country in 2015 and appoint a new government or agree on a plan for elections in the short term,” he said.

He stressed that the call comes at a time when the state is being divided and some individuals in state institutions are monopolizing decisions outside the scope of their authorities, thus worsening economic and financial conditions of Libyans, especially after the outbreak of Coronavirus and the ongoing offensive on Tripoli and other districts.

“This call comes as state institutions are increasingly divided, and some officials in these institutions have individually made decisions that exceeded their role and their authority,” Al-Serraj added.
