United Nations, Dec 17 (AP) The U.N. General Assembly on Friday rejected attempts by Myanmar's military junta, Afghanistan's Taliban rulers, and Libya's rival eastern-based government to take their country's seats at the United Nations. Afghanistan's seat will remain with the country's previous government led by President Ashraf Ghani, which was ousted by the Taliban in August 2021. And Libyan Ambassador Taher Elsonni, who represents the government based in the capital, Tripoli, in western Libya will remain the country's envoy. In the chaos that followed, the county split, with the rival administrations backed by rogue militias and foreign governments.
