The United Nations has said that a new round of talks aimed at ending more than a year of violence and political chaos in Libya has opened in Geneva.
The
UN special representative for Libya, Bernardino Leon, was mediating the latest round of talks that
opened in the Swiss City on Thursday.
The
UN has been brokering talks aimed at establishing a unified government, and the
September 3-4 talks are the latest round in long-running peace negotiations.
Libya
has two rival parliaments and governments and has been torn apart by violence
since the major western powers helped to topple long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi
in 2011.
The
one in Tripoli, the General National Congress (GNC), is controlled by Libya
dawn forces, while the internationally recognised government operates out of Tobruk,
in the far east of the country.
