Abdallah Bathili , the former head of the UN mission in Libya, accused the country’s main players of “monopolizing the political process.”
In an interview published on Monday, Bathili noted that Libya’s political leaders were not interested in the country’s actual stability during the past transitions.
Bathili explained that no solution can be reached in Libya as long as this situation continues, pointing to the desire of political leaders to share the fruits of governance among them, rather than seeking the stability of the country.
“Libya is not a poor country, in fact, it is a very rich country, producing 1.3 million barrels of oil per day, and there are enough resources for every Libyan to live in prosperity,” Bathili said, referring to the level of corruption in Libya.
“There is no transparency, Libyans talk about corruption in the government, and when you look at the situation in the education sector and in the health sector, you see the destruction left by the wars, and the infrastructure has not been rebuilt,” Batelli said.
A tripartite meeting soon in Cairo to end the political impasse in Libya
