Menfi stresses importance of African Union's role in supporting national reconciliation in Libya
The head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, emphasized the priority of the African Union's role in supporting Libya's comprehensive national reconciliation process. He highlighted the need to hold general elections, unify state institutions, end foreign interference, and ensure the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries, praising the African Union's supportive stances toward Libya in international forums. This came during his speech at the African Union's mid-year coordination meeting in Malabo, where he called for strengthening African solidarity in the face of the continent's economic and geopolitical challenges. In his address, Menfi stressed the urgency of accelerating the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area. He called for greater attention to be given to infrastructure projects connecting African countries, such as roads and energy pipelines, and for supporting local manufacturing of raw materials to create added value. Menfi also addressed the crises affecting several African nations, underscoring the need to establish effective African mediation mechanisms, build internal crisis management capacities, and unify African positions on reforming global financial institutions and the United Nations Security Council.

Menfi calls from Seville for international support to rebuild Libya
The Head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, called on the international community to support efforts for political stability in Libya, stressing the country's need for effective international partnerships to overcome its crisis and build a diversified economy. His remarks came during the opening of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development held in Seville, Spain, on Monday, with the participation of several heads of state and representatives of international organizations, including King Felipe VI, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Menfi said that Libya is at a pivotal moment in its history, referencing the challenges the country has faced in recent years, including political, security, and economic crises, as well as the natural disaster caused by Storm Daniel, which struck the city of Derna and areas in the Green Mountain region in September 2023. Menfi also emphasized the importance of directing international funding towards projects in education, healthcare, and renewable energy. He noted that Libya possesses natural resources and a promising sovereign wealth fund but requires structural reforms to enhance transparency and accountability. Menfi concluded by reaffirming the Council's commitment to implementing effective standards in public financial management in cooperation with international partners. He expressed hope that what he described as the 'Seville Commitment' would mark a starting point for a fairer global financial system—one that supports developing countries, alleviates debt burdens, and promotes stability in Africa and worldwide.
