Dr Aref Ali Nayed, chairman of @Ihya Libya (Reviving Libya), congratulates the UN and the negotiating sides for the successful signing of a Pan-Libyan ceasefire agreement in Geneva today.
H.E. Mr. António Guterres
Secretary General
United Nations
Your Excellency, greetings, and respects.
Congratulations and Thanks for Facilitating a Pan-Libyan Ceasefire Agreement
Further to our letters of June 29, August 24, August 31, and October 12, on finding ways towards Libyan peace, stability, unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, freedom from occupation, and electoral legitimacy;
We write to Your Excellency, on this happy day of peace, in order to congratulate you and your esteemed Team, and to thank you all for the successful facilitation of a Pan-Libyan Ceasefire Agreement.
We thank, in particular H.E. Prof. Dr. Ghassan Salame, and H.E. Ms. Stephanie Williams for their vision and relentless hard work which led to today’s great results. We also thank the two negotiating sides for their courage and for prioritizing the nation and the interests of the Libyan people.
We congratulate our great Libyan people, who have suffered and endured so much, and who deserve a life of peace, prosperity, and freedom from all forms of tyranny internal and external.
We hope that the recent breakthroughs in the Economic Track, and Military Track will be protected, and that they will be matched by a similar breakthrough in the Political Track.
The keys to success in the upcoming Political Track meetings are:
1. Total and urgent transparency and disclosure of the composition and mechanisms of the Libyan Political Dialogue.
2. Absolute commitment to a firm date for urgent Presidential and Parliamentarian Elections, internationally supported and monitored
3. Total inclusivity of the entire Libyan social fabric.
4. Respect of the demographic realities of Libya, and of regional historical heritage.
5. Rejection of the rewarding of all forms of bullying, domination, and corruption by any individual, group, tribe, or town.
6. Protection of the participation of women, youth, and minority groups.
7. Upholding professional standards and due-processes for all appointments.
Best regards and many thanks, Your Excellency, to you and to your esteemed colleagues.
Aref Ali Nayed,
Chairman, Ihya Libya (Reviving Libya)
