Community leaders call on United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to support demilitarization of Tripoli
Deputy Special Representative for the Secretary-General and Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Aeneas Chuma chaired a meeting with the Tripoli Center Outreach Committee Monday to discuss de-escalation efforts in Tripoli. These leaders, who has contributed to brokering and sustaining the truce since the May crisis, have been pivotal in preventing violence through community engagement. The Mission has facilitated targeted mediation meetings to reinforce their peacebuilding capacities, encourage coordination with official security institutions, and amplify local ownership in sustaining stability.
During the same week, UNSMIL's SIS met with notables and community leaders from across the western region as part of ongoing efforts to support local peacebuilding. The meeting followed up on previous engagements and recognized their critical role in sustaining the truce. Participants discussed ways to further contribute to the implementation of local security arrangements and enhance coordination with official institutions. UNSMIL reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive dialogue and community-driven stabilization. 'UNSMIL and IC need to urge all parties to refrain from provocative speech and actions,' one of the notables said.
During the meetings, the leaders shared their efforts and presented recommendations for peace initiatives. Participants stressed the need for a disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration program, warning of the risks of military presence in residential areas. "We share the demands of Tripoli's people and aim to demilitarize the capital," stated the participants. UNSMIL expressed its intention to increase collaboration and ensure that local voices continue to shape both local and national peace processes.

Egypt: El-Sisi ratifies law to establish unified national real estate database
Arab Finance: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has ratified law No. 88 of 2025 establishing a unified national real estate database, according to the Official Gazette. The law mandates assigning a unique national real estate number to each property in Egypt. This number will be linked to the country's unified baseline map and integrated within a secure electronic system, aiming to enhance the organization and management of real estate data. A competent authority, to be designated by a decision from the Prime Minister, will be tasked with managing the database and providing access to the data in a non-interactive technical format. The law excludes properties of strategic and military significance owned by sovereign entities, in accordance with regulations to be issued by the Cabinet. The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), in coordination with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and other relevant authorities, will define the components of the unified national real estate number. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology.

Putin and Xi condemn Israel over its Iran strikes, call for diplomatic solution
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a phone call on Thursday during which both leaders condemned Israel for its strikes on Iran and agreed de-escalation was needed, the Kremlin said. Both men "strongly condemn Israel's actions, which violate the UN Charter and other norms of international law," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters. "Both Moscow and Beijing fundamentally believe that there is no military solution to the current situation and issues related to Iran's nuclear programme. "This solution must be achieved exclusively through political and diplomatic means," said Ushakov. Russia has warned of catastrophe should the Israel-Iran conflict, now in its seventh day, escalate further, and has urged the US not to join Israel's bombardment. Putin has been in touch with US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in recent days and has repeatedly said Russia stands ready to mediate between the warring sides. Thus far, no one has taken up Russia's offer. On Thursday, Putin reiterated that proposition in his phone call with Xi, a close ally. The Chinese leader expressed support for the idea, Ushakov said, "as he believes it could serve to de-escalate the current acute situation." The two men agreed to keep in close contact in the coming days.
