Welcoming Support for the Government of National Accord Cabinet


Press Statement
John Kirby
Assistant Secretary and Department Spokesperson, Bureau of Public Affairs
Washington, DC
February 24, 2016


The United States welcomes the February 23 endorsement for the Cabinet of the Government of National Accord, signed by a majority of Libyan House of Representatives members. We strongly support these courageous Libyan leaders as they move ahead with forming the Government of National Accord.

We are deeply concerned by reports that a small hardline minority used physical intimidation and threats to disrupt the February 23 session of the House of Representatives in Tobruk in order to prevent a vote on the Cabinet. We strongly condemn all attempts to obstruct the Libyan political process.

The international community, including the United States, will stand by, and provide support to the Government of National Accord as it begins the hard work of restoring stability and building a better future for all Libyans.
