Khalid al-Mishri, chairman of the top advisory council, ruled out the possibility of the UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) returning to negotiations in Switzerland.

He said Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar’s forces were constantly attacking civilians with continuous financial support from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The senior official also criticized the UN for failing to share relevant details regarding the talks, including the names of participants.

On Tuesday, a joint military commission representing the GNA and Haftar’s forces had started a second round of talks in Geneva.
