Leon Appeals to Libyan Parties to Conflict to Seize Historic Opportunity to Become Peace-makers.

Tripoli, 27 August 2105(Lana) The UN Special Envoy to Libya Bernardino Leon has urged parties to the Libyan conflict to seize what he called a historic opportunity to become peace-makers, and said he was confident that the several months-long talks were approaching the final stage despite obstacles. Briefing the UN Security Council on the latest of the Libyan political talks on Wednesday, Leon said the process has succeeded in clearing climate of distrust between the political parties, and to reach a road map to resolution of the crisis and ending a year-long armed conflict in the country. The current talks are a legitimate step in which Libyan can ensure a continuation of the democratic transition triggered in their country, Leon said. Leon urged the UN Security Council members to present a clear strategy to settle the Libyan crisis, and to support the prospective consensus government effort to contain or eradicate the threat of terrorist groups which pose threat not only to Libya, but the region and whole world. He said the situation in Libya is on the verge of collapse, thousands have become displaced and the number on the increase because of lack of medical care and electricity cut off in several parts of the country. The Head of the UN mission thanked Libyan leaders and countries which offered support to the peace process and talks between Libyan parties. =Lana=
