UN Proposes Unity Govt To End Libya Conflict Thursday Oct 08,2015

 

The UN envoy for Libya has announced a national unity government for Libya after months of talks between the North African country's two rival governments.

 

Bernardino Leon told  on Thursday Oct 08,2015 that the names of candidates for the national unity government have been decided.
Leon said the prime minister for the new government is Fayez Sarraj, a member of the Tripoli-based administration.
"We believe this list can work," Leon said of the names, which include three deputies for the prime minister - representing the country's east, west and south - and two ministers to complete a presidential council.
"All of them will work as a team," Leon said. He added, "This was not an easy task."

Negotiators who attended the peace talks representing the rival governments approved the names of candidates, but the parliaments for both sides must approve them, too.

Note

Libya has had rival administrations since August 2014, when an alliance of militias from the city of Misrata known as Libya Dawn took over the capital, Tripoli.
The group drove out the internationally-recognised government, which now operates in the eastern city of Tobruk.
