Libya talks on new unity govt gather pace: UN

AFP, UNITED NATIONS, United States: Talks on changes to Libya’s unity government could yield results in the coming weeks, putting the north African country on a path to stability, the UN envoy said Wednesday.
The UN-backed government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj was installed in Tripoli last year but has failed to assert itself further east, where strongman General Khalifa Haftar holds sway.
UN envoy Martin Kobler told the Security Council that talks on “possible amendments” to the political agreement, and notably on Haftar’s future role, had made progress in the past two months. “I am confident that a format will be found in the next weeks within which these questions can be decided upon and recommendations can be put forth for approval to the relevant institutions,” Kobler said
