Video: Talks resume on Saturday 21 March 2015, SRSG Bernardino Leon addresses the media
Watch: Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, Bernardino Leon, addresses the media before talks resume on Saturday 21 March 2015 in the city of Skhirat, Morocco, regarding the effect that military operations taking place in Libya could have on the Libyan political dialogue.
“We continue to work this morning. As I said last night with concern on these military operations. I would like to remind that a few weeks ago we were going to start one round of talks and there was an attack by Shuruq operation in Sidra and Ras Lanouf, and the United Nations reacted in the strongest way, as the operation that was undermining the dialogue.
It has probably been the toughest reaction of the United Nations so far. Yesterday, we had a new military operation against Tripoli, precisely in a decisive moment of the talks, and our reaction today is as strong as it was in the past. This is not only military activity which is undermining the situation in Libya and preventing the unity of the Libyans in fighting terrorism, it’s also an operation that we condemn I nthe strongest terms because it’s undermining the dialogue in the decisive moment.
