‘One and united’: Libya interim government sworn in

Abdul Hamid Dbeibah is sworn in as prime minister of the interim administration he says will represent ‘all Libyans’.

Libya’s new interim government has been sworn in to lead the war-torn North African nation until elections later this year. Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, selected at UN-sponsored talks in February alongside an interim three-member presidency council, was sworn in before the House of Representatives in the eastern city of Tobruk. The North African nation descended into chaos after leader Muammar Gaddafi was toppled and killed in a NATO-backed uprising in 2011, resulting in rival administrations vying for power.
