Tunisia – May 13, 2026
A new round of "mini-meetings" bringing together representatives of Libya's key political actors kicked off Tuesday at the headquarters of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in the Tunisian capital, marking a significant push to advance the country's stalled political roadmap and overcome the prolonged institutional deadlock.
The consultative sessions brought together a delegation from the Government of National Unity comprising Walid Al-Lafi, Mustafa Al-Mana, Abduljalil Al-Shaoush, and Ali Abdulaziz, alongside a delegation representing Khalifa Haftar that included Abdulrahman Al-Abbar, Zayed Hadiya, Al-Shaibani Bouhmoud, and Adam Bouskhar.
Discussions centered on completing the first two steps of the UN-backed political process, with particular emphasis on establishing the constitutional and legal frameworks required to hold long-delayed general elections. The talks addressed the technical and legal obstacles that have repeatedly derailed previous attempts to organize a national vote.
According to the UN mission, the meetings were marked by a productive atmosphere, with participants agreeing on the need to maintain the positive momentum achieved during this round. Both sides expressed willingness to work toward removing the barriers hindering the electoral process.
The session concluded with an agreement to resume talks at the beginning of next June to continue discussions on unresolved issues, signaling a cautious but tangible commitment to sustained dialogue.
These diplomatic efforts come as UNSMIL seeks to revive the political process that has remained frozen since the postponement of the December 2021 elections. The UN mission is attempting to bridge the gap between the main parties and secure consensus over the "rules of the electoral game" — a key condition demanded by the international community to ensure acceptance of the results of any future vote and restore lasting stability in the country.
In a parallel diplomatic development, Presidential Council head Mohamed Menfi held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the Africa–France Summit in Nairobi, Kenya. The discussions focused on recent political developments in Libya and international efforts to support stability.
Both sides stressed the need to push forward a political process leading to comprehensive elections within an agreed legal framework. A statement from Menfi's office highlighted the importance of unifying Libya's institutions and working in line with UN-backed efforts and Security Council resolutions.
Menfi emphasized that any successful political path must reflect broad Libyan consensus, respect state institutions, and support UN efforts to create conditions for elections and national reconciliation. Both leaders warned against unilateral initiatives that could undermine political legitimacy or stability.
These concurrent diplomatic moves are seen as indicators of mounting international pressure to pull Libya out of its protracted political crisis, amid continued institutional division between the governments in Tripoli and Benghazi. Observers note that while progress remains fragile, the resumption of structured dialogue under UN supervision offers a glimmer of hope for a country that has endured over a decade of conflict and division.
