(MENAFN) The deputy prime minister of Libya"s UN-backed Government of National Accord insists that despite major setbacks since the GNA's formation last year, it is the country"s only chance for peace.
In detail, the popularity of the GNA has suffered over the past few months as the body's promise of political unity in the divided country flopped, and conditions for Libya"s population have worsened. But Ahmed Maiteeq told Middle East Eye that the GNA is on course to resolve major problems such as the incorporation of militias and had successfully defeated the Islamic State group.
The GNA was formed in UN-sponsored peace talks between the country's major rival factions in December 2015, when Libya had two rival governments.
Its purpose was to built a single unity government, however both of the former rival governments have continued to operate alongside the GNA despite the body entering Tripoli in March last year.
