Media Office of the Prime Minister: Libya's GNU Secures Landmark Agreement to Prevent Escalation in Tripoli and Advance Security Sector Reform

Audio By Carbonatix

Libya's Government of National Unity (GNU) has successfully reached a comprehensive agreement to defuse the recent tensions in Tripoli, avoiding the outbreak of conflict and protecting civilians from harm. This outcome underscores the GNU’s unwavering commitment to resolving disputes peacefully while maintaining pressure on unlawful actors to safeguard the sovereignty and stability of the Libyan state.

This breakthrough comes only days after a special operation by the Ministry of Interior uncovered and dismantled a terrorist cell in the Andalus district of Tripoli, just meters from the residence of Prime Minister Abdulhamid Aldabaiba. The raid foiled an assassination attempt targeting the Prime Minister, resulting in the killing of three cell members, arrest of two others, and the discovery that several detainees had links to ISIS.

As part of this landmark agreement, GNU institutions secured commitments from the “Rada” (Special Deterrence Force) to withdraw from key sites, including Mitiga Airport, and to hand over major detention facilities to state control under the Ministry of Justice and judicial authorities. This move marks a crucial step toward restoring full sovereignty over critical infrastructure, reinforcing civilian authority, and ending the influence of armed groups over state institutions.

The agreement was achieved through close coordination between the Presidency Council and the GNU, and is a result of combined institutional efforts under the leadership of both Prime Minister Abdulhamid Aldabaiba and Presidential Council President Mohamed Al-Menfi.

This outcome demonstrates the GNU’s ability to use coordinated political, security, and military pressure to achieve its objectives without dragging the capital into armed conflict – a priority consistently emphasized by Prime Minister Aldabaiba. By achieving this peaceful resolution, the government has taken a critical step toward dismantling unlawful parallel security structures, reinforcing state authority, and protecting civilians from the devastating impact of war.
