U.N. Envoy to Warring Factions: “Libya Has No More Time”

HeadlineJun 11, 2015

Talks have resumed in Berlin on reaching a peace deal between Libya’s two rival factions. The country has been torn apart since the NATO intervention four years ago, with two governments claiming authority and scores of militant groups controlling territory in between. U.N. envoy Bernardino León said, after months of talks, Libya is out of time to avoid a resolution.

Bernardino León: “Libya has no more time. This is my first message. And for all those who are listening from Libya, it’s very important to understand and to translate this in concrete action, in saying very clearly that enough is enough and that the time has come to make a deal.”
