28 July 2023 CORRESPONDENTSTripoli, LibyaReutersThe United Nations Libya mission warned on Thursday against "unilateral initiatives" to address the country's political stalemate after two legislative bodies proposed creating a new interim government as a precursor to elections. "Unilateral actions, like similar attempts seen in the past, could inflict serious negative consequences for Libya and trigger further instability and violence," the UN mission said in a statement noting the legislative bodies' proposals. An effort by the HoR to appoint a new government last year led to a day of heavy fighting in Tripoli. The bodies have instead announced a separate roadmap that would involve replacing Dbeibah's government before any move towards the national elections that would replace them. It aims to form a new interim government to supervise presidential and parliamentary elections.
