The Libyan Parliament passed a national reconciliation law by a majority vote late Tuesday, marking a significant step towards healing the deep divisions that have plagued the country since the 2011 revolution.
The law, which was approved during a session held in the eastern city of Benghazi, aims to address the numerous challenges facing Libya, including political instability, social fractures, and the ongoing conflict between rival factions.
Parliament Speaker Abdullah Blehig emphasized the importance of this legislation in fostering national unity and paving the way for a more stable and prosperous future for Libya.
The passage of the law comes after significant efforts to achieve national reconciliation, including an initiative launched by the Presidency Council in 2021.
Libya has been deeply divided since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, with the country effectively split between the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord and the forces of military commander Khalifa Haftar.
This legislation represents a crucial step towards overcoming these divisions and fostering a more inclusive and peaceful future for the Libyan people.
