Libya Political Analyst: Lasting Peace Demands Tackling Root Causes, Not Just Power reshuffles
Dialogue Outputs Face Implementation Hurdles, Says Biskri
Abdul Wahab Biskri, a member of the "Restore Legitimacy to the People" movement, said on June 11, 2026, that the outcomes of the Structured Dialogue still face serious challenges regarding their implementability on the ground. Speaking on the "Al-Tanasuh" channel, Biskri emphasized that the core of the Libyan crisis lies not in the shape of the executive authority but rather in persistent disagreements over electoral laws and the constitutional framework governing the political process.
UN Mission Works Within Established Frameworks
Biskri noted that there are those who view the dialogue outcomes as a unifying Libyan vision that could contribute to resolving the crisis, while others regard them as consultative results still under dispute since the launch of this track. He pointed out that the UN Mission has been attempting to reach a political solution through the same mechanisms established since the signing of the Libyan Political Agreement in Skhirat. All successive UN envoys committed to the same political references — the Skhirat Agreement, the Berlin process outcomes, and relevant Security Council resolutions. These frameworks confined solution tracks to consensus between the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, or resorting to specific alternative mechanisms if such consensus proves unattainable — an equation that continues governing Libya's political process to this day.
Key Issues at Stake
- The constitutional track and public referendum remain unresolved despite being present at every political station since the Skhirat Agreement.
- Libya has lived under successive transitional arrangements for over a decade, modified multiple times through political agreements and dialogue outcomes.
Biskri highlighted that the Advisory Committee and Structured Dialogue revisited many previously discussed issues. Some committee members succeeded in pushing for constitutional track discussions despite it not being among the UN Mission's initial priorities. The constitutional question and its public referendum have remained present throughout, yet political parties consistently opted for temporary constitutional rules or alternative transitional arrangements rather than definitively resolving the constitutional file.
Previous UN-Focused Talks Narrow in Scope
The UN-led dialogues in Geneva and Tunis focused more on reshaping the executive authority — the Presidential Council and government — while constitutional issues remained subject to ongoing disputes without decisive solutions. Biskri confirmed that recommendations from the Advisory Committee or Structured Dialogue outcomes did not offer direct and definitive solutions to these problems, concentrating more on executive authority and governance issues. He stressed that any discussion of forming a new government or restructuring executive institutions will have limited impact unless the file of electoral laws is first resolved and a clear legal framework for elections is agreed upon.
Concerns From a Leading Voice for Reform
"Abdul Wahab Biskri, member of the Restore Legitimacy to the People movement" — raised reservations about the proposed 18-to-24-month timeframe for the new executive authority under the Structured Dialogue outcomes, questioning whether this period is genuinely designated to reach elections or could pave the way for yet another extendable transitional phase, mirroring past Libyan experiences over recent years.
Why This Matters to Libyans
The Libyan crisis continues to circle in place without genuine consensus on electoral laws. Presidential elections, in particular, remain the central knot in Libya's political landscape, given the scale of associated disagreements and their direct connection to the future shape of the state and power balances. Biskri stressed that changing the executive authority alone is insufficient — stability requires an integrated process leading to elections accepted by all factions. He also cautioned against exceeding the UN Mission's mandate, affirming that primary responsibility for Libya's political future rests with Libyans themselves, not international actors.
Path Forward: Popular Involvement and Constitutional Resolution
Biskri concluded that any political initiative's success depends on addressing the crisis's true root causes: definitively resolving the constitutional file, agreeing on implementable electoral laws with broad acceptance, and involving citizens more directly in political decision-making. Only then can popular legitimacy be restored to institutions and Libya end the cycle of successive transitional phases the country has endured for over thirteen years.
