Washington –Saddam Haftar, Deputy Commander of the Eastern Libyan Forces, discussed with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in Washington, DC, the details of the American initiative aimed at ending the Libyan crisis and unifying the military, political and economic institutions, in a new step within the international efforts to get the country out of the state of division that has persisted for years.
The meeting took place in the presence of the US President’s Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, where the two parties discussed developments in the Libyan scene and the prospects for bilateral cooperation, in addition to the American initiative that seeks to support stability and unify state institutions, as confirmed by the eastern Libyan forces and the US State Department in two separate statements.
The US State Department confirmed that the United States will continue to lead diplomatic efforts aimed at unifying Libya and creating conditions for the formation of a democratically elected government capable of managing the country and ending the state of division.
The American initiative, according to what is being circulated, includes merging the national unity government headed by Abdul Hamid Dabaiba with the government appointed by the House of Representatives, headed by Osama Hammad, within a unified government led by Dabaiba, in exchange for the formation of a new presidential council headed by Saddam Haftar, although no official announcement has been issued confirming the details of this proposal.
These moves come at a time when international efforts continue to unify the Libyan military establishment, which is divided between the forces in the east of the country led by Khalifa Haftar and the forces affiliated with the Government of National Unity in the west, under the auspices of the United Nations mission through the Joint Military Committee (5+5).
Last Saturday, Cairo hosted a meeting that included the foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, along with Massad Boulos, devoted to discussing ways to unify Libyan political, economic, and security institutions, and to create conditions for holding presidential and parliamentary elections to end the transitional phase extending since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in 2011.
