Libya rival forces oppose U.N.-proposed peace deal
2015-10-13
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Libya's rival parliament and government both showed opposition to a U.N.-proposed peace deal installing a unity government Monday, with one politician saying it would deepen rifts in the country.

"This government is rejected... it will deepen differences between the Libyan people," said Mahmud Abdel Aziz of the General National Congress, which has yet to vote on the plan.

The Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
-based GNC is refusing to discuss the proposed government until its demands are met for amendments to the U.N.-proposed plan for Libya, which plunged into chaos after the 2011 uprising that toppled dictator Muammar Qadaffy
...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later...
.

In the aftermath of his fall and murder, the country has been ruled by powerful armed militias and has had two governments and two parliaments since August 2014.

The internationally recognized parliament is based in the east and met on Monday to discuss the U.N.-proposed unity government, politician Ali Tekbali told AFP.

However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
he also dismissed the U.N. plan, saying the government it has proposed is one of "divisions, not unity."

The talks in the eastern-based parliament are to continue on Tuesday, said the Lana news agency.

U.N. special envoy Bernardino Leon "wants to impose a fait accompli on us," Tekbali said.
