A deputy leader of Libya’s Western-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) has tendered his resignation.
Musa al-Koni says the UN-backed administration has failed to tackle urgent problems arising from years of conflict and political disarray.
In position since March 2016, the GNA was tasked with bringing a divided, chaotic, and violence-riddled Libya back to some sense of normality but this has clearly not happened. Different militias hold the real power inside a broken Libya. Does this latest defection signal the end of the GNA?
