(Reuters)Cairo – Khaled MahmoudThe departure of Government of National Accord (GNA) leader, Fayez al-Sarraj, from Libya and his tasking of his deputy, Ahmed Maiteeq, with his duties continues to stir debate in the country. This is the first time since his appointment in 2015 that Sarraj delegates his duties to his deputy. Sarraj has not contacted Mohammed al-Menfi, the new Presidential Council chief, or Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, the PM-designate. An informed Egyptian source told the MENA news agency that the delegation will tackle the technical preparations to resume Egyptian diplomatic operations in Libya.
