New UN Libya envoy is Senegal’s Bathily

SMA NEWS – TRIPOLY
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has appointed Senegalese diplomat and former government minister Abdoulaye Bathily as his Libya envoy, the UN Libya mission said in a statement on Saturday.
Bathily succeeds Jan Kubis, who stepped down from the role late last year as diplomacy aimed at resolving Libya’s longstanding conflict faltered in the run-up to an aborted national election.
