New York, Libya’s representative to the United Nations, “Taher al-Sunni,” stressed the importance of Libyans’ ownership and leadership of any political process away from any dictates or external interference.

“Sunni” said in a speech during the Security Council session held today on Libya – to support sincere national efforts that seek during this period to address the challenges we mentioned to produce a comprehensive Libyan national solution, and to end all fragile transitional stages.

Al-Sunni said that everyone knows that the solution lies in restoring legitimacy to the people and through a solid constitutional framework that clarifies the shape of the state and its institutions.

He also praised the continuous efforts of the Joint Military Committee (5+5) and its ongoing meetings that took place recently with various military leaders in several Libyan cities, stressing that the goal of all these meetings is to start unifying the military institution in a professional and effective manner, and to find possible mechanisms to end all kinds of foreign presence. On Libyan lands, whatever their names, which represents a sovereign demand that all Libyans aspire to and call for. Without it, the country will remain occupied and its national will hostage to others.
