Sisi: all elements available to solve crisis in Libya

NEW YORK– 20 September 2017: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi asserted on Wednesday that all elements are available to solve the crisis in Libya, citing a political agreement that is the sole acceptable foundation for a comprehensive settlement in the Arab country.

"There is no way to divide the elements of solution in Libya," Sisi told a UN Security Council meeting on the conditions in the Libya.

The president expressed pleasure for participating in the meeting which is meant to reach a political settlement for the crisis which has continued for more than six years.

Such settlement will enable the Libyan people to restore their capabilities, to reconstruct their country and to combat terrorism, said the president.

He said that the recent period has witnessed a drop in activities of terrorist groups in Libya thanks to a decline in support provided by some parties to those groups.

He cited also progress achieved by the national Libyan army at this level.

"There is a real opportunity to reach the required breakthrough in Libya if the intentions are true and the efforts collaborate," he said.
