Libya's Presidential Council on Thursday launched a strategy for national reconciliation amid a deep political crisis in the country. "Libya needs national efforts to draw it away from foreign interference” Mohamed al-Menfi, head of the council, said in a speech during a ceremony held in the capital Tripoli. A number of foreign ambassadors were present at the ceremony, which was also attended by al-Menfi’s two deputies. "Many countries have suffered from division and rift, but they triumphed by will and determination,” al-Menfi added. Libya has been plagued by turmoil and divisions since the 2011 ouster of strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
