TRIPOLI, Dec. 20 (MNA) – Martin Kobler, Representative and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, urged today Libyans to join the fight against terrorism, following his role as mediator in a peace agreement in this country.

Kobler said in his call on his Twitter account that in the fight against terrorism the international humanitarian laws must be followed.

Kobler also expressed concern about the recent fighting in Ajdabiya, where, according to local sources, a leader of the ISIL called Ahmed Mazeq El-Zawi was killed.

He said that indiscriminate attacks affecting civilians are prohibited by international humanitarian laws and also that those actions are war crimes.

This week, representatives of the two parliaments in Libya (headquartered in Tripoli and Tobruk), signed in Shkirat, Morocco, an agreement to set up a national unity government.

After the overthrow of Muammar Qadafi in 2011 by a civil war joined by mercenaries from various Arab nations and supported by Western countries' air strikes, Libya continues in a situation of political and social chaos.
