(MENAFN) Six years after the 17 February revolution in Libya, political and military rivalries continue to divide the country. The UN-brokered Government of National Accord (GNA) has not managed to establish its authority.
Aguila Saleh, president of the Tobruk-based House of Representatives (HoR), the legislative body officially recognised by Western powers, rejects the authority of the government that was formed under the terms of the Skhirat agreement.
Middle East Eye: The House of Representatives (HoR) has yet to ratify the December 2015 Libyan Political Agreement signed in Skhirat [Morocco]. Why?
Aguila Saleh: The so-called agreement is a sham. The delegates who attended the Skhirat discussions did not represent Libya.
They were hand-picked by Bernardino Leon [head of the UN support mission in Libya until November 2015] and his successor Martin Kobler to impose a list of names on the Libyan people.
