He affirmed that global powers should manage and monitor the security, economic, and political solutions to be implemented.

Abou El Enein attributed the Libyan crisis to the interference of regional powers into the North African country by sending mercenaries and weapons to the militias there.

He further wished that the governments and parliaments should interact together to cover all the issue's dimensions and punish traitors.
