Military intervention can’t solve Libya problem -UNSG
 |
| Guterres |
“Only political solutions can apply to situations like the one in Libya,” Guterres said after his recent Libya visit.
According to him, when he was leaving, he was deeply
concerned and he had a heavy heart with the possibility of a serious
confrontation in and around Tripoli, and his concerns had been until now
entirely confirmed.
“But there was still time for a ceasefire to take place – for
a cessation of hostilities to take place and to avoid the worse which would be
a dramatic, bloody battle for Tripoli. There was still time to recognize there
is no military solution. Only political solutions can apply to situations like
the one in Libya. I want to express my enormous admiration for the work that is
courageously being done on the ground by my special representative, Ghassan
Salame.”
He concluded that he will do everything to support Salame’s
efforts, and also expressed his worries about the situation of the migrants and
refugees that are caught in this terrible situation.
