Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced his country’s support for the initiative of Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso, which aims to organize an internal Libyan conference.

After a meeting with Sasso, who chairs a high-level committee on Libya in the African Union, Lavrov affirmed support for talks to reconcile the warring parties in Libya.

Lavrov attacked the West and its supposed targets in Ukraine and Libya during his visit to Congo, which comes as part of his African tour, according to Agence France-Presse.

Lavrov explained that what is happening in Libya is a tragedy, holding NATO and its members responsible for this. He added that the situation in Libya is similar to what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the West wanted to impose its version of democracy, stressing the importance of finding an approach that guarantees the re-establishment of the country.

The African Union, at the initiative of President Denis Sassou Nguesso, issued a call to accelerate the path of peace and reconciliation in Libya, calling for a national reconciliation conference to be held in the city of Sirte.

The Union stressed the necessity of the withdrawal of all foreign militants, foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya, in line with the decisions of the African Union and international resolutions.

Lavrov arrived in the city of Conakry, the capital of Guinea, to begin his African tour before heading to Congo, then Chad on Wednesday, and Burkina Faso. This is the sixth visit that Lavrov has made to the African continent in the last two years.
