Libya: ceasefire agreement signed in Tripoli

In Libya, after nine days of clashes that produced 60 dead and over 160 wounded, it was signed "a ceasefire agreement to end all hostilities, protect civilians, safeguard public and private property, and reopen Mitiga Airport." All "under the auspices" of the UN special envoy in Libya, Ghassan Salamé. He writes it in a tweet from Unsmil (United Nations Support Mission in Libya), summarizing the agreement reached between the militias.

The agreement "does not aim to solve all the security problems of the Libyan capital: it seeks a framework agreement on how to start addressing these issues", stated in another tweet. "All signatory parties undertake to find a political solution, the cessation of hostilities and the creation of a mechanism that controls the ceasefire", says a text of the seven-point agreement relaunched by the Al Ahrar twitter account with a photo.

The Italian Foreign Minister, Moavero Milanesi, considers the first news from Tripoli on the achievement of an agreement for the ceasefire to be "very positive". Meanwhile, the Italian government continues to develop the Conference on Libya to be held in Italy in November.

In the summit at Palazzo Chigi, according to an official note from the Prime Minister, "some details were defined" on the appointment. “The government – ​​reads the text – remains extremely focused on following the developments taking place in Libya in the hope of overcoming the current tensions. Also in view of the summit of heads of state and government on 20 September in Salzburg, Italy's priority remains that of obtaining more funds in the European Union budget - compared to those currently envisaged - for socio-economic development interventions of the countries from which the migrants leave. The goal is to create the conditions to reduce departures”.

After the criticisms against Paris on the Libyan dossier made primarily by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, the French Foreign Ministry he announced that “France's efforts are not directed against anyone, certainly not against Italy, whose initiative we support to organize a new conference on this important dossier for the two countries. The French initiative supports the efforts of the United Nations to maintain an exit scenario from the political crisis”.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the chaos of these hours, hundreds of African migrants allegedly fled from a detention center near Tripoli airport. The Reuters website gave the news, citing humanitarian sources according to which up to 1.800 people may have abandoned the facility. However, Libyan government sources have denied the fact.
