Tunis: Tunisia has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating security situation in Tripoli, and the impact this has on the security and safety of Libyans and other residents of this neighbourly country. In a statement on Friday evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Migration, and Tunisians Abroad declared Tunisia's readiness to host a Libyan-Libyan dialogue facilitated by the UN mission to Libya (UNSMIL) to achieve a peaceful resolution.

According to Agence Tunis Afrique Presse, Tunisia cited the two nations' shared destiny and its commitment to supporting Libyan-led solutions free from external interference. "Tunisia stands prepared to serve as neutral ground for Libyan brothers to pursue a political settlement that preserves Libya's unity and meets its people's aspirations for security and stability," the statement read.

The statement further emphasised the importance of heeding the voice of reason and prioritising the national interest within a framework of consensus among all Libyan parties. This approach aims to initiate a comprehensive process under the auspices of the United Nations, with the goal of ending violence and advancing the political process in Libya towards organising elections and establishing unified, permanent state institutions. These institutions should consider the interests of all Libyan citizens, ensuring the unity, sovereignty, and stability of the state.

Tunisia reiterated its call for an immediate end to the escalation in all regions of Libya, citing the risks these developments pose to the country's future and its people. It urged for a cessation of violence and for weapons to be put down, encouraging Libyans to resolve their differences through dialogue.
