‘The blood of all Libyans are valuable to us,’ says Fayez al-Sarraj
There is still a chance to stop the bloodshed in Libya, according to the head of the country’s UN-recognized government said Wednesday
"We are calling on our brothers in the East to stay away from this war,” said Fayez al-Sarraj. “The blood of all Libyans are valuable to us.”
The remarks came during a meeting with Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi in which they discussed current developments in the war-torn country.
"We were approaching the peaceful settlement for the country but the attacks on Tripoli, fundamentally shook the political process, dragging the country into vortex of violence and war," Sarraj said while emphasizing that hundreds of lives have been lost on both the sides.
"There is still a chance to stop the bloodshed in Libya and settle down with dialogue," he said.
He noted the struggle in Libya was not between the East and the West, but the modern civil state and those who want to militarize and return to a totalitarian regime.
