Libyan peace talks falter as fighting continues

2015-03-14 7 Dailymotion

There are fears of an early and fruitless end to the UN’s Libyan peace talks.<br /><br /> Delegates convened again on Friday as the second week ended to find that the representatives of the internationally-recognised Tobruk government had not made the trip to Morocco. <br /><br /> UN mediator Bernardino Leon did meet with the rival Tripoli General National Congress delegates, who have agreed to talks about Libya’s future for the first time.<br /><br /> The Tobruk government had been asking for a postponement for the last two days. The UN has now agreed to this, and says the talks will resume next week.<br /><br /> While a government of national unity is the goal of the talks on the ground there is little sign of unity. Fierce factional fighting continues, with Tripoli-loyal Libya Dawn forces celebrating taking positions from Tobruk-loyal Zintan militia.
