Madar (Tripoli) - US presidential adviser for Arab and African affairs Massad Boulos has called for moving to the implementation of the agreement to unify Libya's institutions, saying "no further delays, excuses or obstruction" can be accepted, according to a post he published on X on the evening of Friday 13 November 2026.
Boulos said leaders from eastern and western Libya had worked for more than a year, seriously and in good faith, to advance what he called a "historic" initiative to unify the country's military, political, judicial and economic institutions, paving the way for long-awaited national parliamentary and presidential elections.
He said the United States, together with regional, Arab and international partners, had provided support, assistance, assurances and encouragement to the Libyan-led process, and that progress had been made towards military, budgetary, electoral and judicial unification, complementing the efforts of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).
The two sides have agreed on a comprehensive and clear unification framework with broad domestic and international support, he added, stressing that "the time to act is now".
Boulos warned individuals and groups seeking to undermine or obstruct implementation that there would be consequences, saying the United States and its allies stand ready, in line with relevant UN Security Council resolutions including resolution 2835, to take "all appropriate measures" against those who obstruct Libya's path to unity, stability and elections.
Libyans have waited long and deserve unified institutions, lasting stability, democratic elections and economic prosperity, he said, adding that the success of the process also matters for peace, security and stability in the region.
