LONDON: The US ambassador to Libya spoke to the head of the country's eastern based parliament about a peaceful resolution to the conflict raging in the North African nation.
Richard Norland said ending the war should start with the “stabilization of the situation around Sirte and Jufra.”
Turkish-backed forces allied with the Tripoli based Government of National Accord (GNA) are mobilizing on the edges of Sirte and have vowed to retake the city, along with the inland Jufra airbase, from the rival Libyan National Army (LNA) commanded by Khalifa Haftar.
The ambassador affirmed US opposition to “all foreign military interference in Libya and full support for UN-facilitated dialogue.”
Norland and Aguila Saleh also spoke about “supporting Libya’s sovereignty” and enabling the National Oil Corporation to resume operations nationwide.
