Consultative sessions for the National Forum were held Tuesday in Sabha under the sponsorship of the Humanitarian Dialogue Center and the organization of UN Envoy to Libya Ghassan Salame and were attended by many social figures as well as civil society organizations and government agencies in the city.
At the end of the sessions, Salame praised the attendees for choosing dialogue over violence.
The National Forum is one of the stages of Salame’s plan before calling for the inclusive national conference, which has already been announced by Salame before the UN General Assembly.
During the forum, which was launched at the Municipality of Abu Salim in the capital, Tripoli, Salame said that his mission in Libya lies in rebuilding the country, noting that the elements of his plan to resolve the Libyan crisis complete each other.
He explained that like all Libyans, the UN mission supports the choice of carrying out elections on the presidential, parliamentary and municipal levels.
Salame also met with Saudi Ambassador to Libya Mohammed al-Ali and discussed with him the political situation in the country.
On the other hand, Libyan politicians and human rights activists were surprised that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan directly accused France of "committing massive massacres” in his country.
They said Erdogan has moved his political battle with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron to their country.
This came during his speech at the International Mount of Olives Peace Awards, which took place in Istanbul on Monday.
"Turkey continues to support terrorist groups in our country with money and peace," said a member of the House of Representatives, adding, "our national army has revealed more than once the aspects of this great support to sabotage the country."
"Why did Erdogan remember the massacres of France in Libya now?" asked the deputy, who asked to remain anonymous. "Is not this against the backdrop of political rivalry on Syrian soil?"
“Yes ... the NATO has destroyed our country and left it to the extremist groups that receive support from Turkey while the UN Security Council imposes restrictions on supplying our country with arms,” the deputy stressed.
