Libyan factions are likely to be invited in the French capital late this month as France seeks to secure holding of elections in the conflict-torn North African country as a way out of chaos. The meeting in the French capital is likely to take place on May 29, Reuters reports citing three unnamed European diplomats. The UN official had advanced an action plan proposing the organization of elections late this year. France has been trying to play a key role in Libya, as it tries to patch up divisions and push for the election. The agreement has had little effect on the ground with Hatfar threatening to overrun the country if the elections are rigged.
