Libya’s Joint Military Commission 5 + 5 held a meeting in the coastal city of Sirte on Monday to discuss ongoing efforts to clear mines and remnants of war from the coastal road connecting the city to Misrata.
“The meeting will discuss progress in removing mines along the coastal road,” Mohamed Turjuman, director of the Libyan Demining Center, told Anadolu Agency (AA).
“The Commission will submit technical reports on cleared areas for mines to UNSMIL representatives and international observers,” he said.
The Joint Military Commission 5 + 5 consists of five senior military officers from the Libyan government and five elected by Putschist General Khalifa Haftar.
On February 5, Libya’s rival political groups in UN-mediated talks agreed to form a temporary unity government to lead the country to elections in December, when Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh was appointed prime minister and tasked with forming a new government.
Last week, the Libyan parliament granted a vote of confidence in Dbeibeh’s new unity government with 132 votes from the 133 lawmakers who attended the session.
