The United Nations has praised the "constructive role" of the Kingdom which has "contributed since the onset of the Libyan crisis to the efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Libya", wrote the Sputnik agency in a long article devoted to the role and efforts of Morocco in the inter-Libyan dialogue held in Bouznika.

Similarly, the European Union (EU) said it was "grateful to Morocco for its active role with both parties" in the resolution of the Libyan conflict, the same source added.

On the African side, the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD) highlighted encouragement for the constructive dialogue of HM King Mohammed VI.

CEN-SAD also stressed “the personal and institutional involvement” of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, “in the search for a negotiated solution to the Libyan crisis which strongly impacts other CEN-SAD member countries”.

For its part, the African Union underlined "Morocco's efforts by bringing together representatives of the Parliament and the Libyan High Council of State in order to relaunch the process of a political solution to the Libyan crisis".

Also, the organization of the Arab League praised "the efforts made by Morocco to move forward with the political dialogue between the Libyan parties", added Sputnik.

Many countries including France, Spain, Italy, Belgium as well as Egypt, Jordan and Turkey have also lauded the efforts and commitment of the Moroccan diplomacy in this matter.

Not surprisingly, Algeria is not on the list of the lauding countries, the news agency noted.

The Libyan question plays an important role for Algeria which is currently experiencing a diplomatic and political eclipse, said Kader Abderrahim, research director at the Institute for Foresight and Security in Europe (IPSE), quoted by the news agency. 

"The Moroccan diplomatic approach is laudable", he stressed, affirming that as for the Skhirat process in 2015, the one launched in Bouznika makes it possible to promote a direct dialogue. It thus gives Libyan actors the opportunity to find the means to end the crisis and the civil war, he explained.

The agency recalled that the inter-Libyan dialogue sessions in Bouznika constitute the first meeting between the Libyan belligerents since their announcement of a ceasefire on August 21, adding that the delegations of the Libyan High Council of State and from the Tobruk parliament came to the negotiating table in Morocco.

The agency stressed Bourita's remarks at the opening of the inter-Libyan dialogue, affirming that the Kingdom's initiative is driven "by the sole desire and impartial ambition to serve Libya and to stand by the Libyan people and support them”.

The objective is, above all, to "maintain the ceasefire and to open negotiations between the Libyan parties to put an end to the conflicts", added Bourita, quoted by the agency, noting that "Morocco has neither an agenda, nor an initiative and it has never agreed to choose between the Libyans. On the contrary, he still sees the Libyans as brothers and that they take responsibility and put Libyan interests first”.

These consultations led to "a global agreement on transparent and objective criteria and mechanisms for holding positions of sovereignty," said the two delegations at the end of their meetings within the framework of the Libyan dialogue, added the same source.

Abdessalam Al-Safraoui, who chairs the delegation of the High Council of State, said that "the dialogue focused on the appointments to be made at the head of sovereign institutions".

The comprehensive agreement announced Thursday is a first step in this direction and Bouznika thus becomes an important step in the process of Libyan reconciliation, the news agency said.

The two parties have agreed to meet during the last week of September to complete their agreement, which has been well prepared.
