Rival Libyans agree to sign unity government deal

Country’s two main factions agree to sign national unity government deal at UN-facilitated meeting in Tunisia.

 

Al Jazeera – 11 Dec 2015 – Rival factions in Libya have agreed to sign a UN-backed national unity government deal following months of negotiations, the UN special envoy for Libya announced in Tunis.
Libya currently has two rival parliaments and governments: the Tripoli-based General National Congress and the United Nations-recognised House of Representatives in Tobruk.
The conflict between the two powerful factions erupted more than a year ago when they set up rival governments and parliaments in a battle for control of the oil-rich North African nation.
