“And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.

And fear Allah;

indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.”

We, the undersigned people of southern Libya who are gathered here in the headquarters of Community of Sant'Egidio in Rome, out of an understanding of the catastrophic conditions that the Libyan people are living in, express our deep concern for the people of Fezzan and their suffering from deteriorating humanitarian conditions.

So, we will do everything we can, and we will work together as one, to facilitate the access of aid, in full, to the whole population, without any discrimination and with justice in distribution, giving priority to the most vulnerable groups, like children, women, and the elderly.

The first urgent and necessary step is to get the emergency aid to the health centers in the cities of Ubari, Brak Al Shatii, Traghan, Sabha, Ghat, Qatrun, Murzuk, and Hun.

We will work on and monitor their delivery, in full, to all of the locals.

We will present ourselves as facilitators to bring attention to the needs of these centers from the Libyan authorities, the international community, international organizations and agencies providing humanitarian aid, and donor countries.

Out of an understanding of the importance of this step to build confidence and coordinate between the tribes and cities, we commit to determining future steps and initiatives that aim to decrease and end the suffering of the people.

We value the role of the Community of Sant'Egidio in mediating so that a serious and transparent dialogue can be held and providing a chance for confidence building and coordination to reach a reconciliation between the different tribes and cities in southern Libya.

We also value their commitment to continue these efforts until comprehensive stability and a lasting peace are reached in Libya.
