CAIRO (AP) — Libya’s rivals began a second round of talks on Monday on a mechanism to choose a transitional government that would lead the conflict-stricken country to elections in December next year, the United Nations (UN) said. The 75-member forum reached an agreement to hold presidential and parliamentary elections on December 24, 2021. They also agreed to name a volunteer legal committee to work on the “constitutional basis for the election”. There is much work left to be done to alleviate the suffering of Libyans,” Williams told the participants. The forum took place amid a heavy international push to reach a peaceful settlement to Libya’s conflict.
