UN Envoy in Libya Announces Proposal for Unity Government
October 09, 2015 - The U.N. envoy for Libya has announced the proposal of a new unity government for the divided nation in what could be a key step toward ending four years of chaos and political turmoil.

"We believe [this government] can succeed," Bernardino Leon said Friday in Morocco as he announced the proposal. "The Libyans must seize this historic opportunity to save Libya." Under the plan, a member of the Tripoli-based parliament, Fayez Sarraj, was named prime minister. He would have three deputies. Six ministers would make up a presidential council. The proposed unity government still faces significant hurdles. Rival parliaments in Tripoli and in the east must approve the unity government. Warring militia groups on both sides must also agree.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the announcement and urged all of Libya's political parties to quickly endorse the agreement. "After months of turmoil and uncertainty, the secretary-general urges Libyan leaders not to squander this opportunity to put the country back on the path to building a state that reflects the spirit and ambitions of the 2011 revolution," Ban said.

Libya has been split between an Islamist government that seized Tripoli and set up its own administration, and the internationally-recognized government which fled to the east. The chaos has led to violence, terrorism and a collapsed oil industry. The United States and other world powers have urged Libya to quickly agree to a unity government before Islamic State and other terror groups can take full advantage of the situation.

Rival governments in Libya reach power-sharing agreement
Dec. 6, 2015 - After Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011, rebel factions turned against one another, forming competing governments in the east and west of the country.

Rival governments in eastern and western Libya on Sunday reached the initial phase of an agreement designed to foster elections that would bring about a single ruling entity in the North African country. The BBC reported the deal, which was made during negotiations in Tunis, must still be endorsed by the internationally-recognized government in Tobruk and the General National Congress in Tripoli. After former leader Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011, rebel factions turned against one another, forming competing governments in the east and west of the country.

In January, the GNC and the Tobruk government agreed to a United Nations-backed cease-fire, but several militant groups not aligned with either governing body -- including an Islamic State affiliate -- did not recognize the deal. The Tunis agreement is separate from U.N. efforts, but the BBC quoted Martin Kobler, the U.N. special envoy to Libya, as saying it was a good basis for moving forward.

Rival governments in Libya on Dec. 6, 2015, reached the first phase of a deal that would lead to a single ruling entity, a constitution and elections in the North African country.​

Neither governing body endorsed a previous U.N. power-sharing deal in October. "If this solution receives real Libyan support -- from the people and institutions -- we will surely arrive in no more than two weeks or a month to a solution to solve the political crisis," the BBC quoted the first deputy head of the GNC, Awad Mohammed Abdul-Sadiq, as saying Sunday.

Under the Tunis agreement, both sides would form committees to agree upon a constitution and nominate a standing prime minister until elections could be held. Representatives of the GNC and the Tobruk government will meet at U.N.-hosted talks in Rome next week.

Arab states need to forced into acting in their own best interests. Shouldn't be a western responsibility to protect a bunch of prima donnas who wanna live the life of Reiley from oil exports, then do nothing when they should be doing something.

Should organize a western boycott of middle east oil. Just quit buying it until they get off their fat spoiled asses and into the fight. Absent their oil wealth, every arab state will have a revolution as their people not overly fond of their leaders to begin with now have massive economic crunches because of them. That'll get em in the fight.

We can just cut em some big checks to help support their military effort against isil in Lybia. A long drawn out war could destabilize their economy. Beyond that, I'd say they're on their own.
