Morocco’s foreign affairs minister Nasser Bourita will head to Paris tomorrow for an international conference on Libya organized by France’s Emmanuel Macron ahead of the high stakes Dec. 24 elections.
The line-up includes US Vice President Kamala Harri, Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and leaders from Niger and Chad, among others.
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune rejected an invitation by the Elysee to attend a conference but said he would send a delegation.
The conference will be the latest in a series of international events seeking to restore an elected government to Libya after 10 years of civil war that’s left the country divided between the eastern and western factions, until a ceasefire last year led to a unity government taking office in March, with the hopes of leading the country to elections in December.
The presidential polls will open on December 24, while legislative is delayed until the new year.
