UN Envoy: Libyans Call For Unity And Elections

Libyans across factions and sectors are pressing for national unity and the organization of elections to resolve the country’s longstanding divisions, according to the United Nations deputy representative.

Stephanie Koury emphasized on Wednesday the urgent need for political leaders to break the impasse and move towards achieving stability in the oil-rich North African nation.

Since the NATO-backed overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, Libya has been beset by chaos, leading to the establishment of rival administrations in the east and west supported by militias and foreign powers.

Efforts to hold elections last December faltered, exacerbating the political crisis as Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah refused to step down from his transitional role in Tripoli, prompting the east-based parliament to appoint its prime minister, Ossama Hammad.

Stephanie Koury, who has engaged extensively with Libyan stakeholders since taking over as the top UN official following Abdoulaye Bathily’s resignation, underscored the widespread Libyan desire for peace, stability, and reconciliation.

The situation in Libya remains tense amid ongoing efforts to unify the country politically and pave the way for overdue national elections.

The Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has assured that former NNPCL Group CEO Mele Kyari will face investigation following petitions demanding his probe.

Speaking through Winifred Adekunle, a deputy director at the Ministry of Justice, Fagbemi promised that “whatever questions you have asked will be addressed appropriately” after lawyers from the “Guardians of Democracy and Rule of Law” marched to submit their April 23, 2025 petition.

Protesters under “Concerned Citizens Against Corruption” also staged a two-day demonstration at the AGF’s office, calling for Kyari’s immediate investigation over alleged mismanagement and opaque transactions during his five-year tenure.

The petition accuses Kyari of facilitating questionable refinery rehabilitation deals—highlighting a $400 million investment claim by Matrix Energy despite a $1.5 billion Federal Executive Council approval—and servicing a $2 billion debt through crude allocations.

The group urged the AGF to review all agreements under Kyari’s administration, launch a fact-finding investigation to quantify losses, and establish a commission of inquiry to recover misappropriated funds and ensure accountability.
