London, 29 January 2021:
In her final briefing to the Security Council yesterday before handing over to the new permanent incoming head, Jan Kubis, Acting UNSMIL head Stephanie Williams reiterated the need for foreign fighters and mercenaries to leave Libya and the need for the enforcement of the UN Libya arms embargo.
The 23 October ceasefire agreement had prescribed that they leave within 90-days, which passed last week
Williams reported that both sides were still undermining the ceasefire agreement through military build-up and accused internationally recognized prime minister, Faiez Serraj, of undermining security sector reform (SSR) demobilization, demilitarization, and reintegration (DDR) and the monopoly of the state on the use of legitimate force.
Acting Special Representative of the Secretary General for Libya Stephanie Williams Briefing to the Security Council
Format
Members of the Security Council,
I wish to congratulate Tunisia for assuming the Presidency of the Council for the month of January.
This month marks one year since Chancellor Merkel of Germany and the Secretary-General convened the Berlin Conference on 19 January 2020. The Conference did not put an immediate end to the conflict and the suffering of the Libyan people. Nor did foreign support to the warring parties relent and indeed, this blatant foreign interference continues.
However, the 55-point communiqué agreed by the Member States and partner organizations in Berlin articulated a comprehensive framework to address the full range of issues fuelling the Libyan conflict. Its subsequent endorsement by this Council, through resolution 2510 (2020), anchored our effort to bring the Libyan parties to the negotiating table.

London, 16 January 2021:
The Central Committee for Municipal Council Elections (CCMCE) announced the rerun of local elections amid unconfirmed claims of serious fraud and interference by armed groups.
Today, Sabrata and Tajura hold local elections.
In its announcement on Thursday, all the CCMCE said was that there would be a re-election in two polling stations in Swani ‘‘because the electoral process does not match the correct procedures. The repetition will take place on Saturday, January 23, 2021’’
However, according to a former CCMCE official, militiamen forced their way into polling stations in Swani and stuffed extra ballots into the boxes.
