The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has warned against spreading fake news and disinformation in Libya, reiterating its call for all sides to avoid any incendiary actions or rhetoric that may threaten Libya’s fragile stability.

UNSMIL added in a statement on Sunday that it has come to its attention that a letter purporting to be from Acting Head of Mission Raisedon Zenenga is circulating on social media, rendering the letter as fabricated.

"Unfortunately, spreading fake news and disinformation in an attempt to mislead the public and rally support for various political causes has become common in Libya." UNSMIL added.
