UNSMIL Launches Nationwide Survey to Shape Libya's Electoral Roadmap
On Monday, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) launched a nationwide public consultation effort aimed at involving Libyans in shaping the country's future political roadmap. More than 10,000 Libyans have already participated in the digital public opinion survey, designed to collect views on how to move the country toward credible national elections and lasting political stability. The initiative, part of UNSMIL's broader effort to ensure an inclusive and Libyan-led political process, invites citizens from all parts of the country to contribute their opinions before the survey closes. It focuses on four key proposals developed by an advisory committee, while also exploring essential issues such as conditions for a peaceful transfer of power, mechanisms for political continuity, and public trust in the process. Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Libya, Hanna Tetteh, emphasized that broad public engagement is essential for legitimacy. 'We want to listen to Libyans from all communities and all regions,' she said. 'A truly inclusive process is the only path to national unity and elections.' UNSMIL is placing special emphasis on ensuring that women, cultural minorities, and people with disabilities are actively included. It also issued a direct call for residents of southern and eastern Libya to join the consultation, noting their voices are critical to achieving a representative outcome. In addition to the online platform, UNSMIL is conducting two additional telephone-based surveys through a professional polling firm. This dual approach aims to widen participation beyond those with internet access and ensure the input reflects a broad cross-section of Libyan society. Libya's electoral process has faced repeated delays due to institutional fragmentation, competing governments, and a lack of legal consensus. Tags: Election RoadmaplibyaNationwide Surveyunsmil

Egypt Reaffirms Support for Libyan Sovereignty and Political Consensus
H-Tayea Egypt reiterated its steadfast support for Libya's sovereignty, unity, and political stability, emphasizing the need for a Libyan-led political solution free from external interference. Ambassador Tarek Dahroug, Assistant Foreign Minister and Director of the Libya Department, outlined Egypt's vision in official remarks reaffirming Cairo's long-held position on Libya. Ambassador Dahroug stressed that Egypt encourages inclusive dialogue among all Libyan parties and calls for overcoming divisions in order to achieve national consensus. He highlighted the importance of unifying Libya's executive authority based on legitimate and consensual foundations that reflect the will of the Libyan people. This, he said, would strengthen the efforts of the United Nations toward a political settlement. He further asserted that Egypt views the political process as the sole path toward resolving the Libyan crisis, in accordance with the Berlin Conference outcomes, relevant UN Security Council resolutions, the Skhirat Agreement, and the principle of 'Libya for Libyans.' Egypt also welcomes serious efforts toward the unification of Libya's national institutions, particularly the military and economic bodies, as key to restoring lasting stability. Ambassador Dahroug underlined that Libya's security is inseparable from Egypt's national security and regional stability. He firmly rejected any attempts by foreign powers or armed groups to exploit Libyan territory as a platform for threatening neighboring countries. Egypt, he affirmed, supports all legitimate Libyan institutions that emerge from genuine intra-Libyan consensus and engages with all Libyan factions to safeguard the unity of the country. He noted that Egypt is committed to remaining an active developmental partner for both eastern and western Libya, with Egyptian companies and professionals working responsibly across both regions in projects that serve the broader interests of the Libyan people. In line with directives from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to prioritize the well-being of Egyptians abroad, Ambassador Dahroug confirmed that the Foreign Minister is actively monitoring efforts to reopen Egypt's consulate in Tripoli, with plans to resume consular operations before the end of the year. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
