Opening that road is one of many tasks facing the new Libyan administration unveiled in Geneva on February 5th. The body, led by a three-person presidential council and a prime minister, was chosen by 74 Libyans in a forum representing the country’s regions at talks sponsored by the United Nations. It was the UN ’s fourth attempt to establish a unified government in Libya since the revolution. When the UN created the GNA in 2015, it met behind closed doors and imposed Fayez al-Serraj, a largely unknown politician, as prime minister. The new prime minister is one of the country’s richest men, Abdul Hamid Dabaiba.
