Inter-Libyan Political Talks: Leon Reaffirms Need to Reach Agreement Before September 20

"We are starting a new round of talks in this Libya process, which we hopefully will be the final round, will be the moment of truth for the parties. We are very hopeful that they will understand that this deadline of the 20th of September must be the last one, must be the one that will allow Libya to get out of this crisis", he told the media at the opening of a new round of inter-Libyan political dialogue.

He also said that there are "very concerning news in the last hours", in an allusion to the killing of civilians by ISIS.

"So, it is the moment of truth. It is the moment to make a deal. And all the Libyans - and all the international community - are asking their representatives, politicians, independents, civil society that are gathering here in Skhirat to reach a deal, to put the interest of their country above any other consideration", he stressed.

Morocco has been host since March to a series of talks between the Tobruk parliament, the Tripoli-based National General Congress and independent figures representing civil personalities, intellectual, legal experts, business circles and women associations.
