Today, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo expressed his country's welcoming to the comprehensive ceasefire agreement in Libya.

Pompeo stressed the need to adhere to the permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of all militias and foreign forces from the country, which fell into chaos for years since the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

Pompeo also stressed the obligation of all parties to this agreement.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) confirmed in more than one report that Turkey transferred thousands of mercenaries from Syria to Tripoli.

It is noteworthy that Pompeo's statements came after the Libyan parties reached an agreement on a permanent ceasefire to boost the political process in the country and reach a solution to the crisis.

Dozens of Libyan personalities began a political dialogue via video, under the supervision of the United Nations, in the framework of the Libyan political dialogue forum, through which the results of the discussions that took place in recent weeks regarding the military, economic and institutional files will continue to be discussed.

The meeting included various personalities from the Libyan political scene.

Preparations are also expected to take place on the ninth of November in Tunisia, according to the UN mission previous statement.

The 75 participants, according to the United Nations, are not senior leaders in Libya and include members of the two rival parliaments, activists from civil society organizations, and women such as lawyer Ilham Al-Saudi.

In this context, the United Nations stated that the conference "aims to achieve a unified vision about the governance framework and arrangements that will lead to holding national elections in the shortest possible time-framework to restore Libya's sovereignty and the democratic legitimacy of Libyan institutions."

Participants were selected from the various main components of the Libyan people, based on "the principles of inclusiveness, geographical, ethnic, political, tribal and equitable social representation, with a firm commitment to the meaningful participation of Libyan women and youth."
