Morocco has once again expressed its firm commitment to a political resolution for the crisis in Libya, stated its ambassador before the African Union Peace and Security Council (AU PSC) on Tuesday.
Speaking during an AU PSC session focused on Libya, Mohamed Arrouchi, Morocco’s permanent representative to the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, reiterated the kingdom’s backing for national reconciliation efforts and inter-Libyan dialogue initiatives. The goal, he said, is to build on achievements and foster consensus among Libyan parties.
He emphasised that the Skhirat Agreement, signed on 17 December 2015 as part of the UN-sponsored reconciliation process, remains a credible framework and foundation for a lasting political solution to the Libyan crisis. Arrouchi called for preserving Libya’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity as prerequisites for sustainable stability.
The diplomat also conveyed Morocco’s appreciation, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, for the African Union’s sustained efforts to promote peace, security, and stability across the continent, particularly those aimed at facilitating a political solution in Libya.
Arrouchi noted meetings held in Tripoli and Zenten that led to an accord signed on 7 January 2026 in the Libyan capital between representatives of the Government of National Unity and the eastern government. He underlined Morocco’s ongoing role in accompanying Libya’s political process, working to bring together the viewpoints of the various Libyan parties, who place their trust in the kingdom’s efforts.
These efforts respect international legality, the conclusions of the Skhirat Agreement, and the Bouznika understandings, with the aim of fostering a Libyan-led solution acceptable to all parties. Morocco stressed the need to continue pursuing a political resolution to the crisis, far from any military options.
