The U.N. envoy to Libya says it's
time for the newly-formed unity government to work after the
arrival of its chief in the capital, Tripoli, the Associated
Press reported Thursday.
Yet the unity government is still awaiting a crucial vote of
confidence by the country's elected parliament, which is based
in eastern Libya.
Martin Kobler told reporters in Cairo on Thursday that "it's
one thing to have an agreement with words and another thing is
to implement the agreement."
He was referring to the U.N.-brokered political agreement
between the country's rival factions struck in Morocco last
December.
Based on the agreement, a new unity government aimed at
healing the country's divisions is to take power and rule from
Tripoli. The head of the government, Fayez al-Sarraj, arrived in
Tripoli last month by sea.
