The United States regrets LNA commander Haftar’s suggestion that changes to Libya’s political structure can be imposed by unilateral declaration and reiterates the call for an immediate humanitarian cessation hostilities.
The Embassy navertheless welcomes any opportunity to engage LNA commander Haftar and all parties in serious dialogue about how the country can move forward.
As civilians continue to suffer during the holy month of Ramadan and the Covid-19 pandemic threatens more lives, the U.S. Embassy urged the LNA to join the government of National Accord in declaring an immediate humanitarian cessation of hostilities leading to a lasting ceasefire as formulated in 5+5 talks under UNSMIL facilitation on February 23 in Geneva.
