UN Urges Libyan Rivals to Form National Unity Govt.

Friday 9 October 2015
UN Urges Libyan Rivals to Form National Unity Govt.
Alwaght- The United Nations has urged Libya’s warring factions to form a national unity government meant to end the country’s deadly conflict.
The UN envoy for Libya Bernardino Leon told reporters late on Thursday 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.
Mussa al-Kouni, one of the proposed deputy prime ministers, said, “The hardest part has just begun.”
Leone made the announcement in the Moroccan city of Skhirat after months of talks between the North African country's two rival governments.
The deal must pass a vote in the rival parliaments to succeed.
Libya has had rival administrations since August last year, 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-recognized government, which now operates in the eastern city of Tobruk.
The UN-brokered deal creates a unified government made up of people agreed by both sides.
Under the agreement, parties recognize the parliament in Tobruk as Libya’s legitimate legislative authority.
In return the Tripoli-based General National Council will lead a newly created state council.  
Four years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has descended into a war between Libya's recognized government and its elected parliament, and the self-declared rulers set up in Tripoli last year in a battle for control of the OPEC member state.
The emergence of ISIS terrorist group in Libya and the country's turning into a smuggling hub for migrants risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean  heading to Europe are major factors  in the UN’s push for bringing together rival factions in the North African state.
