Libyan parliament reunites after years of war to debate new government

  • The city is now held by Khalifa Haftar's eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA), which retreated there last year after failing to capture Tripoli in the west.
  • The lawmakers will debate approving a government formed by Abdelhamid Dbeibeh, selected as interim prime minister at a forum held by the United Nations in Geneva last month.
  • The parliament members are expected to debate the government on Monday but not vote on it until Tuesday at the earliest.
