Bouznika, escenario de las conversaciones para alcanzar la paz en Libia

Libya is currently in the ninth year of the conflict that erupted after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. The talks to find a way out of this war have not ceased in recent months. This Sunday, the Libyan dialogue began in Bouznika between the delegations of the Libyan High Council of State and the Parliament in Tobruk.

The aim of this meeting is "to maintain the ceasefire and open negotiations to end the conflicts between the Libyan parties", according to the Moroccan news agency, MAP, this Sunday. The meeting between the two bodies took place after the President of the Libyan High Council of State, Khaled Al Mechri, and the President of the Libyan Parliament, Aguila Saleh, visited Morocco at the invitation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Alaouite Kingdom. 

In addition to Saleh's visit, the special representative and head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) a.i., deputy special representative of the secretary general, Stephanie Williams, also visited the North African nation as part of her consultations with the Libyan parties, as well as with regional and international partners, to find a solution to the Libyan crisis, in accordance with the aforementioned agency. 

Libya is the victim of a war of legitimisation waged by the Libyan National Army (LNA), led by General Khalifa Haftar, who has been attempting to extend his power in the regions still in the hands of the National Accord Government (NAG) since April 2019. Haftar is backed by Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Russia and France; while the Tripoli government, backed by the Muslim Brothers and internationally recognised by the United Nations or Italy, receives military aid from Turkey and Qatar.
