Tripoli: Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Acting Head of UNSMIL, Stephanie Koury, met yesterday in Benghazi with 15 activists representing an array of civil society organizations.
The participants expressed hope to end the political divisions, achieve sustainable stability, expand political participation and representation, and improve basic services.
Koury also met with a group of women’s rights activists who shared their views on the political, economic, and development needs of the Libyan people and the need for meaningful representation of women in the political process and all decision-making forums.
The participants shared frustration over the lack of implementation of past political agreements and called for robust follow-up mechanisms for the future.
“I reiterated UNSMIL’s commitment to amplifying the voices of women, youth, and civil society in shaping Libya’s future,” Koury said in a tweet.
