US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, has called for the immediate implementation of an agreement to unify Libya’s institutions, warning that those obstructing the process could face international sanctions.
In a post on X, Boulos said there was no room for further excuses, delays or obstruction, stressing that the United States and its allies were prepared to take appropriate measures against those undermining the agreement, in line with UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2835.
Boulos said leaders from eastern and western Libya had spent more than a year working in good faith on a Libyan-led initiative to unify the country’s military, political, judicial and economic institutions, paving the way for long-awaited presidential and parliamentary elections.
He said the initiative, backed by the United States and its regional and international partners, had already made significant progress in military, financial, electoral and judicial unification.
According to Boulos, the two sides have agreed on a comprehensive framework that enjoys broad domestic and international support and complements efforts by Washington and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).
The US adviser said Libyans deserved unified institutions, lasting stability, democratic elections and economic prosperity, adding that the success of the initiative was essential not only for Libya’s future but also for regional security and stability.
Boulos reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to the process, stressing that the framework had been agreed upon and international support was clear.
He called for an immediate shift from agreements to implementation, warning that any individuals or groups seeking to derail the process would face consequences.
