Libyan Reconciliation Government Ready to Assume Power
The reconciliation government in Libya, called the Government of National Accord, announced over the weekend that it had received the endorsement of the majority of the previous internationally-recognized government and was now ready to assume power. The statement is the culmination of months of political jockeying to reach a compromise between feuding rival governments. The Government of National Accord says they will now try to move to Tripoli to take control of the country. An advance team for the government was detained and accused of plotting a coup, but there have also been some positive signs in negotiations with local militias, at least one of which has agreed to restore access to critical oil fields.
