| GNC now say yes to dialogue but sets heavy conditions |
| 2015-01-31 |
| [Libya Herald] Following the announcement from UNSMIL that the political delegates to the dialogue process who met again in Geneva on Monday and Tuesday have agreed to transfer the talks to Libya, the reconstituted General National Congress has announced that it will now participate. Ten days ago, Congress said it would join if the talks were held in Libya, suggesting the venue be Ghat, but three days later it announced it had withdrawn the offer, no matter where they took place, because of the attack on Benghazi the Central Bank of Benghazi. In its statement today, the GNC said they would now be prepared to meet "in any Libyan city". However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... there were a number of conditions which are likely to be rejected by many of the other political delegates as well as those from the municipalities, civil society, the military and others invited to participate by UNSMIL. |
