No Unity in Libya—Governments Too Busy Battling ISIS

Sunday, October 11, 2015

Libya is still without an agreement on a unity government; both governments, official and unofficial, have been busy fighting ISIS insurgents in the country.

According to security firm, MAST, one day prior to the deadline for an agreement General Hafta, military commander in the Tobruk based government, ordered a new offensive in Benghazi against the militants. This offensive was cited by the Tripoli based government as a reason why they could not agree to the current terms.

It was reported in the Libyan media that Bernadino Leon, the current UN special envoy, would be replaced by Martin Kobler, an Arabic speaking German diplomat who is highly experienced in the Middle East.
