PM-designate Abdul Hamid Dbeibah set to name a transitional government tasked with unifying the war-torn nation. Libya’s Prime Minister-designate Abdul Hamid Dbeibah is set to name a transitional government on Thursday tasked with unifying the war-torn nation and leading it to elections in December. The transitional government faces the daunting challenge of addressing the grievances of Libyans, hit by a dire economic crisis, soaring unemployment, wretched public services and crippling inflation. The prime minister has until March 19 to win approval for his cabinet, before tackling the giant task of unifying Libya’s fractured institutions and leading the transition up to the December 24 polls. Members of Parliament have yet to decide where to convene the parliament session for the vote on Dbeibah’s team.
