UN envoy to Libya Ghassan Salame told Asharq Al-Awsat in Cairo on Sunday that the institutions’ legitimacy problem still exists in Libya and this matter can only be resolved through general elections.
Salame added that the UNSMIL won’t allow any armed group to enter Tripoli by force or assault Presidential Council.
He also indicated that the Security Council will not deploy the blue helmets in Libya because the mission is entrusted with political work and not peace-keeping.
Salame expressed his hope that a security and economic plan would be able to prepare the right conditions in the country for some kind of stability that leads to a permanent political solution.
