Tunisia- Tunisia excluded from Berlin summit

Germany intends to hold a summit aimed at outlining a pathway to peace in Libya on Jan. 19 with the participation of various countries. Notable participants include Alegria, the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Egypt and the UAE.

However, Organisers have been criticised for excluding Libya’s neighbours which are directly influenced by the conflict with Tunisia being one of the excluded.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the summit on Saturday, adding that the United Nations would lead talks if a meeting were to take place in Berlin. She said Libya’s warring parties would need to play a major role if a solution was to be found.
