Participants in the UN-sponsored inter-Libyan dialogue have met yesterday (Monday) to choose a new Prime Minister and Presidential Council. This move will lead to the transition in the conflict-ridden country as many hope to see elections in December 2021. The delegates numbering 75 will have the time to complete the process of selecting them from a list of 45 candidates, drawn from warring groups across the country.
Since November 2020, a dialogue has been in progress in neighboring Tunisia to try to end the bloodshed that followed the fall of Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
The UN backed Government of National Unity and the Tobruk parliament supporting General Khalifa Haftar had agreed to a ceasefire in October. Analysts opine that this time around, peace would return to the North African country, which has been witnessing civil war for quite some time.
