The appeal followed a meeting of the three countries’ foreign ministers in Cairo on Saturday, during which they agreed to revive the Tripartite Neighbourhood Mechanism—a regional diplomatic initiative first launched in 2017 but dormant since 2019.
The move comes in response to recent clashes between rival armed groups in Tripoli, which have raised fears of a broader outbreak of violence.
In a joint statement, the ministers stressed the need to preserve Libya’s stability, protect its national resources, and foster consensus among rival factions.
They emphasized that the United Nations (UN) must lead the political process, supported by neighbouring countries.
The ministers reiterated that unifying Libya’s fragmented institutions and holding both presidential and parliamentary elections are essential steps toward ending the country’s political deadlock.
They also warned against foreign interference, which only fuels instability and threatens regional security.
The three countries supported Libya’s Joint Military Commission (5+5) and urged further progress on ceasefire enforcement, the withdrawal of foreign fighters, and military reunification.
Libya has remained divided since 2011, with a UN-recognized government in Tripoli and a rival administration based in the east.
While large-scale fighting has largely subsided, sporadic violence and political stalemates continue to hamper efforts at national reconciliation.
