libya’s UN-brokered national unity Government announced its formation on Tuesday under a disputed deal aimed at ending years of bloodshed. The United Nations called on the country’s lawmakers to endorse the new administration, after less than half of Members of Parliament signed up to the agreement.
The unity Government, headed by businessman Fayez al-Sarraj, comprises 32 Ministers, the administration announced on its Facebook page. “I congratulate libyan people & Presidency Council on formation of Govt. Of National Accord,” UN envoy Martin Kolber wrote on Twitter.
