The Presidential Council announced that, in its capacity as the Supreme Commander of the Army, it has launched a mechanism to consolidate the truce and reinforce stability in the capital, in the presence of the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Hanna Tetteh.
According to the Presidential Council’s media office, the council held a meeting on Sunday with Tetteh, attended by the Chief of General Staff, his deputy, the heads of military branches, and regional military commanders. The meeting addressed the recent developments in Tripoli, particularly the clashes that took place last week.
The council did not disclose the specific steps it intends to take to consolidate the truce, nor whether any concrete measures have already been implemented. This comes despite the fact that the armed groups whose targeting sparked the recent clashes—namely the Stability Support Apparatus and the Special Deterrence Force—operate directly under the Presidential Council.
The media office stated that the meeting explored ways to address the aftermath of the clashes through the launch of a mechanism aimed at stabilizing the truce and supporting security arrangements that would lead to lasting calm and greater stability. This initiative falls under the Presidential Council’s responsibilities as the top military authority in the country.
During the meeting, the Presidential Council stressed the “need for joint action among all military and security entities to prevent a recurrence of such incidents and to preserve public order,” underscoring “the role of the military institution in protecting civilians and maintaining stability to support the political and security path.”
The media office added that Tetteh reaffirmed the full support of the UN mission for the council’s steps, emphasizing that the international community, including the UN Security Council, backs these efforts and views them as essential to achieving peace and stability in Libya—especially in light of the recent developments in the capital.
