The Libyan Government of National Accord, led by Fayez al Serraj, underlined “the importance of resuming the political process on a clear basis in which there is no place for those whose hands are dirty with the blood of Libyans and for anyone who has committed violations that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and does not renounce the application of justice to them “. The Tripoli executive made this clear after a meeting, the day after announcing a ceasefire agreement with the president of the Tobruk Parliament, Aguila Saleh. Tripoli thus clearly excludes the strongman of Cyrenaica, Khalifa Haftar, from the new political process to reunite the country. So far Haftar, who launched a violent offensive on the capital in April 2019, had not yet expressed himself on the agreement. The Presidential Council underlined that “the modern civil state is an irreversible option”, underlining its “firm position of rejection of the militarization of the state, in order to preserve the blood of martyrs and in response to the request of the Libyans, in order to preserve the security, unity and sovereignty of Libya “.
