UN envoy Bernardino Leon on Thursday shuttled between delegates of Libya’s rival parliaments in Morocco as he pushed for a unity government to stem growing unrest in their country.
Libya has been divided since the 2011 uprising that toppled dictator Muammar Gaddafi, with rival governments and parliaments and armed groups battling for control of its cities and oil wealth.
The talks started a day after an air strike blamed on the internationally-recognised government hit an air base controlled by the rival administration.
Leon has repeatedly urged both sides to set aside differences. “The patience of Libyans is finished and the patience of the international community is finished,” he warned Wednesday.
On Thursday morning, he met delegates from the elected parliament and was later due to meet their rivals.
