The new United Nations envoy to Libya is urging warring factions to sign up to a previously negotiated agreement for a unity government. UN-sponsored talks to end the conflict between Libya's two rival governments and their armed factions have stalled since hardliners in both camps have resisted voting on the deal. New envoy Martin Kobler met over the weekend with the internationally recognised government and elected parliament in the east, and with representatives of the self-declared government in Tripoli and its parliament. Four years after rebellion ousted Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has slipped even deeper into unrest with rival brigades of former rebel fighters backing two loose political alliances in a battle for control of the oil-producing country
