Libya’s rival parties will next week sign a UN-sponsored agreement on forming a national unity government, they announced Friday, as world leaders press them to end chaos in the country, Al Arabiya reported on Friday.
“The political accord will be signed on December 16,” said Salah al Makhzoum, a vice president of the parliament based in the capital Tripoli, calling this a “happy day.”
An official of the internationally recognized parliament, Mohammed Choueib, said that “after lengthy efforts... we announce to our people that we have decided to move beyond this difficult period... and ask everyone to join us.”
Libya descended into chaos following the 2011 ouster of Muammar Qaddafi. The oil-rich country has had rival administrations since August 2014, when an extremist-backed militia alliance overran Tripoli, forcing the recognized government to take refuge in the east.
