The meetings of the Joint Military Committee (5 + 5) and the military, security, and field leaders of the eastern and western regions kicked off on Friday evening in Benghazi, in the presence of the UN Envoy, Abdoulaye Bathily.
Bathily called on the military and security leaders to make efforts and work to reach the elections, expressing his hope to reach consensus and real progress.
The meeting in Benghazi comes about two weeks after a similar meeting in Tripoli, during which it was agreed to reject foreign interference in Libyan affairs, and “continue to work to unify military institutions through the chiefs of staff, unify security institutions and the rest of state institutions, and reject fighting and violence in all its forms, in addition to creating a unified government that would supervise the elections.
