UN’s ex-Libya envoy slams ‘hypocrisy’ of Security Council members

The United Nations’ former Libya envoy Ghassan Salame attacked the world body’s Security Council on Wednesday, saying he had been “stabbed in the back” and accusing member states of “hypocrisy”. Salame announced his resignation in March, citing health reasons, nearly three years after taking up the post. Salame resigned almost a year after eastern-based military commander Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive in April to seize the capital Tripoli, seat of the UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).
