Libyan Factions Sign a Peace Deal in Morocco

ROCKVILLE, Md., Dec. 18, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ -- On Thursday, December 17, 2015 in Skhirat, Morocco, Libyan rival parties signed the "Libyan political agreement" to bring the country out of the crisis that broke out three years ago.
The agreement was signed by representatives of all parties taking part in the inter-Libyan dialogue, held under the aegis of the UN support mission in Libya, mainly the Tobrouk agreement (recognized by the international community), the National General Congress, called the Tripoli parliament, independent figures and representatives of the civil society.
In addition to the Secretary-General's Special Representative and head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Martin Kobler, the ceremony was held in the presence of Moroccan minister of foreign affairs and cooperation, Salaheddine Mezouar and Spanish, Italian, Tunisia, Qatari and Turkish foreign ministers as well as several foreign ambassadors.
UN envoy Martin Kobler described the deal as historic, saying Libya had "turned a page" in efforts to achieve reconciliation and stability. Martin Kobler also praised the part played by Morocco to ensure the success of the inter-Libyan political agreement.
The Kingdom of morocco had hosted several UN-sponsored rounds of talks. Since the beginning of the dialog process, in parallel with diplomatic efforts, Moroccan intelligence services have spared no effort to convince Libya's warring factions to embrace the agreement in order to fight and defeat Daesh which has made some territorial gains in Libya.
In his statement to the press, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo explained that ''this agreement is the first step toward the settlement of the conflict, the next step will be a UN Security Council's resolution recognizing and supporting the government as the only representative of the Libyans.''
He added that ''This resolution will enable the Libyan government to focus its efforts on controlling the territory, fighting terrorism and illegal emigration and reviving the economy of the war-torn country.''
"The Libyan conflict strongly affects Spain and its economic interests and has also entailed collateral damages in countries of the region and caused tensions in Europe,'' concluded the Spanish minister.
In 2014, over 177,000 migrants from various countries seized the political vacuum in Libya to move to Europe, and thus far in 2015, the figure has reached 140,000.
