Dbeibeh: UK backs plan to eliminate armed groups operating outside military, security institutions
The Government of National Unity (GNU) said its Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, praised international positions—led by the United Kingdom—supporting the government's plan to enforce state authority, unify security decision-making, and dismantle armed groups operating outside the framework of the military and security institutions. Dbeibeh received British Minister of State for the Middle East and North Africa, Hamish Falconer, in Tripoli on Monday, according to a statement issued by Dbeibeh's office. The statement cited Dbeibeh as saying that 'efforts to restore the state's legal jurisdiction have begun to bear fruit, as evidenced by progress in releasing detainees held outside the state framework under the direct supervision of the Attorney General's Office.' He described this as a reflection of the state's seriousness in upholding the rule of law and ending all forms of unlawful detention. The meeting between Dbeibeh and the British minister also discussed political developments in Libya and ways to enhance coordination with international partners on shared issues of interest, based on an independent Libyan vision that respects national sovereignty, according to the statement. They also touched on educational development projects, particularly the Prime Minister's initiative to improve English language education across the country, viewing it as a key step to empower future generations and promote international academic openness. Dbeibah emphasized 'the importance of strengthening economic and educational cooperation between the two countries and creating favorable conditions for mobility and institutional ties—especially amid ongoing preparations to reopen Tripoli International Airport, which would enable direct flights and ease consular services, thereby enhancing people-to-people connections and supporting the strategic partnership.'
