UN Special Envoy to Libya Ghassan Salame has urged Libyan citizens to express their contempt towards the delay of official institutions in fulfilling their obligations, criticizing the slow pace of government action and further deterioration of the countrys public services sector. Salame denied reports of his deteriorating health or of the UN chief’s intentions for appointing a new envoy to Libya. Speaking to “Libya Al Ahrar” channel late Monday, Salame expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of official action. All institutional work in the country is either slow or dysfunctional, he explained while adding that Libyans are frustrated and impatient with poor services and delay in the decision-making progress on important issues. Salame defended his mission and fight for a Libyan approval for legislation on a constitutional referendum which makes way for presidential and parliamentary elections before the end of 2018. However, he admitted that he merely spearheads diplomatic efforts and not military intervention. He explained that he is trying to convince the Libyan parliament to complete what citizens expect from the law, reminding parliamentarians and officials that the people have run out of patience. Salame pointed out that he contacted a number of countries with a message on further delay in elections being unacceptable and that the political process must go faster. Having considered Libya to be the victim of external interference, Salame stressed that the UN mission is doing its utmost to reach out to all parties to end the political crisis. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya UNSMIL on Sunday expressed its strong condemnation of acts of violence, intimidation and obstruction of the work of the Libyan sovereign institutions by militiamen in Tripoli. It called on the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord headed by Fayez al-Sarraj to take the necessary steps to prosecute those responsible for such criminal acts.
