CAIRO (AP) — Libya’s embattled prime minister has warned that the appointment of a new transitional government could set off war and chaos in the Mediterranean country mired for a decade in turmoil. He mapped out a seemingly unrealistic plan to hold elections in June. Dbeibah called any effort to install an interim government “reckless” and a “farce” that could lead to more war. An election, he said, “is the sole solution.”The effort to replace Dbeibah stems from Libya’s failure to hold its first presidential election during his watch. In an attempt to court Libyans tired of war and chaos, Dbeibah appealed for what he called “a true national movement” to push for elections.
