We have been following with utmost attention the rapidly evolving situation in Libya. Consistent with the African Union Road map for Libya, Kenya has always believed that only a political solution will make it possible to fulfill the mutually reinforcing objectives of peace, democracy, respect for human rights, the rule of law, and national reconciliation for the people of Libya.
With the impending collapse of the regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddaffi, Kenya urges that all efforts be exerted for the early restoration of peace and stability in Libya. We therefore call on the interim authority to proceed with the immediate establishment of an all inclusive political dialogue aimed at bringing together all the people of Libya, and that will culminate in the holding of free, fair and transparent elections under a new constitution.
The task ahead of restoring order, forging reconciliation and national cohesion, restoring infrastructure and reviving the economy is indeed a tall one. Kenya stands ready to work with the people of Libya, the African Union and the International Community to help build a new Libya.
