On Saturday, the LAS announced that its Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit would meet on Sunday with Libyan Presidential Council Chairman Mohamed al-Menfi, Libyan House of Representatives Speaker Aguila Saleh and Supreme Council of State President Mohamed Takala. They were supposed to discuss ways to "extricate Libya from its longstanding crisis." Those gathered also agreed to create a technical committee that would consider amendments to the bill on presidential and parliamentary elections for "resolving outstanding issues on controversial points in accordance with existing legislation," according to the statement. Libya has faced multiple crises since the 2011 Western military intervention that toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi and created a power vacuum that split the nation into rival factions. Although the warring parties agreed to a historic ceasefire in 2020, the differences have never been resolved, and the country continues to be ruled by two rival governments. The UN has been struggling to fill the void by helping Libyans hold a general election, although internal divisions led it to cancel the vote set for 2021.

Libya's Key Political Forces Agree to Form Unified Government, Arab League Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Key Libyan political forces, during a meeting at the headquarters of the League of Arab States (LAS) in Cairo, have agreed on the need to form a unified government for holding presidential and parliamentary elections in the country, the LAS said on Sunday.
On Saturday, the LAS announced that its Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit would meet on Sunday with
Libyan Presidential Council Chairman Mohamed al-Menfi, Libyan House of Representatives Speaker Aguila Saleh and Supreme Council of State President Mohamed Takala. They were supposed to discuss ways to "extricate Libya from its longstanding crisis."
"The agreed-upon points include … Forming a unified government tasked with overseeing the electoral process and providing necessary services to citizens," the LAS said in a statement.
Those gathered also agreed to create a technical committee that would consider amendments to the bill on presidential and parliamentary elections for "resolving
outstanding issues on controversial points in accordance with existing legislation," according to the statement.
Libya has faced multiple crises since the 2011 Western military intervention that toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi and created a power vacuum that split the nation into rival factions.
