Libya’s Menfi lays out his government’s political vision

The Chairman of Libya’s Presidential Council, Mohamed Al Menfi, on Thursday laid out before the UN General Assembly his government’s plans to guide the country towards peace and stability. His government’s “political vision” includes four pillars: the restoration of national sovereignty and the rejection of foreign influence; reaching an inclusive national consensus on governance; uniting sovereign institutions; and ending the transitional period through free and fair elections. “We firmly believe that any solution that does not restore the national ownership of the political track, any solution that is not derived from the free will of the Libyan people would be destined to fail, as we’ve seen in the past,” Mr Al Menfi said.
