On 4 December 2017, the Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a hearing on the "Prospects for Libya in the current regional context". The hearing will assess the current political and security situation in Libya and the prospects for the stabilisation of the country, ahead of the two-years deadline of the Libyan Political Agreement.
It aims to discuss what role the EU should play in order to support the UN-led political negotiations as well as the interests and roles of different regional and international players.

The panel will consist of the chargé d'affaires of the Libyan Mission to the EU, Mr Mohamed Farhat, and of two experts, Mr Karim Mezran, resident senior fellow of the Rafik Hariri Centre for the Middle East in the Atlantic Council, and Mr Mattia Toaldo, senior fellow of the European Council on Foreign Relations. The discussion of this hearing will feed into the recommendation on Libya that the European Parliament is due to adopt in the coming months.

Parliament is inviting African leaders to Brussels on 22 November to discuss development ahead of the next EU-Africa summit. The conference is set to discuss issues such as peace and security, human rights, sustainable development and migration. African political leaders, African Union representatives and UN officials will debate with MEPs, Parliament President Tajani and Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign affairs chief.

Over the last few decades there have been significant demographic shifts in Africa. Since the 1980s the population has nearly trebled. The continent's population is also very young: 40% is less than 15 years old, while 15-24-year-olds make up another 20%.

This population growth leads to challenges regarding economic growth and job creation, as well as for security, migration and political participation.

The conference on Africa, hosted by the European Parliament will take place in Brussels on 22 November in the run-up to the Africa-EU summit at the end of November in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. You have until 16 November to register for the conference at the Parliament. Check out the link below.
