AFP, Geneva :
Libya’s warring factions have agreed on an “agenda” to form a unity government after two days of UN-brokered talks in Geneva, the UN said today.
The North African nation has been gripped by civil conflict since the overthrow of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in a 2011 uprising, with rival governments and powerful militias battling for control of key cities and the nation’s oil wealth. “The participants agreed after extensive deliberation on an agenda that includes reaching a political agreement to form a consensual national unity government and the necessary security arrangements to end the fighting,” a UN statement said.
The United Nations said the participants “expressed their unequivocal commitment to a united and democratic Libya governed by the rule of law and respect for human rights.”
