الأمم المتحدة تدعم أعمال إزالة أكثر من 14 ألف قطعة من الذخائر المتفجرة في مصراتة
بدعم من دائرة الأمم المتحدة للأعمال المتعلقة بالألغام التابعة لبعثة الأمم المتحدة للدعم في ليبيا، أزال الشركاء المنفذون 14,066 قطعة من الذخائر المتفجرة من مزرعة السويحلي في مصراتة خلال الفترة من يناير إلى سبتمبر من هذا العام، وذلك بحسب تقرير ميداني عرضته منظمة السلام الليبية خلال زيارة الفريق الأممي إلى مصراتة الأسبوع الماضي.
وعقد فريق البعثة اجتماعاً مع المجلس البلدي في مصراتة لبحث سبل إسهام دعم الأمم المتحدة وجهود المنظمات غير الحكومية في حماية المدنيين من أخطار الذخائر المتفجرة، وتعزيز الممارسات السليمة والتوعية بالإدارة الآمنة للذخيرة والتعامل معها.
وخلال الزيارة، طلب عميد بلدية مصراتة، السيد محمود السقوطري، دعم الأمم المتحدة لعمليات التطهير في مناطق زمزم والوشكة وأبوقرين، حيث لا تزال مخلفات الحروب القابلة للانفجار مصدر قلق على سلامة المدنيين. كما رحّب بحملات التوعية بمخاطر الذخائر المتفجرة وأعرب عن دعمه للمبادرات الرامية إلى المساعدة في حماية السكان وضمان سلامتهم.
وقالت رئيسة دائرة الأمم المتحدة للأعمال المتعلقة بالألغام التابعة للبعثة، السيدة فاطمة زريق، إنه لا ينبغي أن يتعرّض المدنيون لمثل هذه الأخطار، معربةً عن قلقها إزاء آثار الانفجارات غير المخطط لها التي تتكرر بالقرب من المناطق المأهولة بالسكان في ليبيا وما تخلّفه من أضرار. وجددت التزام الأمم المتحدة بالعمل مع شركائها الليبيين لتعزيز سلامة المدنيين وحمايتهم من أخطار المتفجرات، مؤكدةً أنه من الأجدر اتخاذ تدابير وقائية تحول دون وقوع هذه الانفجارات مستقبلاً.
وركزت الزيارة على أهمية حماية المدنيين والحد من مخاطر الانفجارات غير المخطط لها في مواقع تخزين الذخيرة، وذلك في أعقاب الانفجار الذي وقع في منطقة السكت بمصراتة الشهر الماضي. وقد أدّى هذا الانفجار، وقبله خمسة انفجارات مماثلة شهدتها أنحاء أخرى من ليبيا خلال السنوات الأربع الماضية، إلى تلوث المناطق المحيطة بالذخائر المتفجرة.
وتُظهر التقييمات التقنية التي تُجرى خلال عمليات التطهير، في كثير من الأحيان، أن ممارسات تخزين الذخيرة التي لا تتبع المبادئ التوجيهية الدولية هي إحدى العوامل الرئيسية التي تزيد من مخاطر وقوع مثل هذه الحوادث. وتسعى الدائرة إلى تعزيز القدرات الوطنية في إدارة الأسلحة والذخيرة، بما يضمن اتباع ممارسات متسقة وآمنة في إدارة مخزونات الذخيرة.
واطّلع فريق البعثة بمعية المركز الليبي للأعمال المتعلقة بالألغام على التقدم المحرز في أنشطة التخلص من الذخائر المتفجرة والتوعية بمخاطرها، التي يقوم بها الشريكان المنفذان، منظمة "هالو ترست" ومنظمة السلام الليبية، في إطار مشروع تموّله الحكومة الإيطالية.
واختُتمت الزيارة بتفقّد مزرعة السويحلي، حيث تُنفّذ حالياً أعمال التطهير في إطار ذات المشروع.

Acting Special Coordinator @RamizAlakbarov addressed today’s Ministerial Meeting of the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution in New York. He underscored that the prospects for a Two-State Solution face unprecedented challenges.
Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction, Palestinian institutional renewal and a credible political process must reinforce one another, and he stressed the importance of a reunified Gaza and West Bank under a single, legitimate and empowered Palestinian Government.
Crucially, he emphasized that “Our collective challenge is to connect the implementation of #UNSCR2803 with the political vision set out in the New York Declaration and carried forward through this Global Alliance”.
The #UN will continue to help coordinate these efforts and support progress towards two States, #Israel and #Palestine , living side by side in peace and security.

More than 14,000 explosive ordnance recovered in Misratah with UN support
With the support of UNSMIL’s Mine Action Programme, implementing partners cleared 14,066 items of explosive ordnance from Al-Sweihli Farm in Misratah between January and September of this year, according to a field report presented by the Libyan Peace Organization during a visit by the UN team to Misratah last week.
The UNSMIL Mine Action team and partners met with the Misratah Municipal Council to discuss how UN support, alongside the efforts of national and international partners, can help protect civilians from explosive hazards while promoting good practices and raising awareness on safe ammunition management and handling.
During the meeting, Misratah Mayor Mahmoud Alsgoutri requested support for clearance operations in the Zamzam, Wishka, and Abugrein areas, where explosive remnants of war continue to pose a threat to civilians. He also welcomed risk-awareness campaigns and expressed support for initiatives aimed at helping communities stay safe.
“Libyan civilians should not be exposed to such dangers,” said Fatma Zourrig, Chief of UNSMIL's Mine Action Programme. She expressed concern about the impact of recurrent unplanned explosions occurring near populated areas across Libya. She reaffirmed the UN’s commitment to working closely with Libyan counterparts to enhance civilian safety and protection from explosive hazards, noting that such incidents are preventable.
Protecting communities and reducing the risks associated with unplanned explosions at munitions sites were central themes of a field visit led by the UNSMIL Mine Action team following an explosion in Misrata's Al-Sikt area. The incident, along with five similar explosions across Libya over the past four years, has left surrounding areas contaminated with explosive ordnance.
Technical assessments conducted during clearance operations have frequently found that ammunition storage practices that do not comply with international standards are a primary factor contributing to the risk of such incidents. UNSMIL Mine Action Programme seeks to strengthen national capacity in weapons and ammunition management to promote safe and consistent stockpile management practices.
Together with the Libyan Mine Action Centre, the UN team reviewed progress in explosive ordnance disposal, and explosive ordnance risk education activities implemented by HALO Trust and the Libyan Peace Organization under an Italian-funded project.
The mission concluded with a visit to Al-Sweihli Farm, where clearance operations are currently underway as part of the project.
