Libya: Head of GNA expected to resign by week’s end


Head of the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), Faiez Serraj, is expected to step down by the end of this week to help form a new unit government next month, after the Geneva talks. Serraj will make the announcement by the end of this week, and has already discussed the move with Libyan sides and international partners, reports Bloomberg, citing two Libyan officials. However, the two rival sides have been engaged in peace talks since the beginning of this year following Berlin international summit on Libya. Earlier this month, they held talks in Switzerland during which they agreed to hold elections within 18 months and restructure the government. According to Bloomberg, the rival sides will be asked then to agree on a new presidential council structure that unifies the country’s dueling administrations and schedule elections.
