NEW YORK:  A United Nations led Libya forum has produced a new interim government for Libya aimed at resolving a decade of chaos, division and violence by holding national elections later this year.

Mohammed al-Menfi, a former diplomat from Benghazi, will head a three-man presidency council, while Abdulhamid Dbeibeh, from the western city of Misrata, will head the government as Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a statement said my appeal to everybody is to recognize and accept these results and to work with the new authorities that were elected.
