UN Presents Framework Agreement to end the political crisis in Libya Monday Sep 21,2015

The United Nations(UN) has presented a framework agreement to end the political crisis in Libya.

UN special envoy Bernardino Leon, who has been meeting with Libya's rival governments for days of negotiations in Morocco, said late on Monday Sep 21,2015 that the UN's work was done and "we now have a final text".
"It is now up to the participants in this dialogue to react to this text,"

Note

Libya, in chaos since Muammar Gaddafi's ouster in 2011, has two rival administrations - one in Tripoli known as the General National Congress (GNC) and an internationally recognised government based in Tobruk in the east.

The rising influence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group in Libya and the country's emergence as a smuggling hub for refugees risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean have added urgency to the long-running and often derailed UN talks.
