A NON-governmental organisation, Foundation for Peace Professionals (PeacePro), has hailed the ceasefire agreement facilitated by the United Nations (UN) between the two factional governments in Libya.
It urged the African Union (AU) to play more active role in the reconstruction process, describing the ceasefire as the beginning of peace-making in the North African country.
PeacePro also urged the two factional governments to work out their country’s harmonisation and never return to the era of violent confrontation.
In a statement by its Executive Director, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, PeacePro stated that with the latest permanent ceasefire agreement between the conflicting parties, a decade of violence in Libya is halted, giving the country an opportunity to make peace and begin the process of reconstruction and transformation.

Hamzat said: “We welcome the ceasefire agreement facilitated by the United Nations (UN) and we urge the African Union (AU) to play more active role in the reconstruction process.”
He explained that the responsibility of permanently resolving the Libya’s crisis and getting the country back on its feet cannot be left to the United Nations alone, arguing that “the passive or nominal role of the African Union is not good for the continent”.
PeacePro, therefore, called on Libyans to forget their bitterness and forgive each other.
