UN proposal unlikely to be met in Libya

According to Libya analyst Salem Sahed, the timeline proposed for the latest UN roadmap is “unlikely but not impossible” as first reported in the Libya Gazette on September 22nd. 

Success would require rapid progress on electoral and legal reforms, clear buy-in from competing factions, and the immediate neutralisation of spoilers.

Speaking exclusively to Maghrebi, Sahed said that “Libya’s decades-long fragmentation, repeated failures to hold credible ballots, and the power of armed groups on the ground make that timeline optimistic,” he notes. “Achieving it would require several high-risk conditions to align quickly.”
