All the outside nations appear to be happy with the result of the vote in Geneva, albeit Prime Minister Abdelhamid Bdeiba has not yet declared his administration group and conferences are in progress.

To have the option to talk about a triumph with sureness, it will be important to sit tight for the arrangements of key priests, for example, the new top of the Interior Ministry, which should have the endorsement of heterogeneous furnished gatherings in the Western district. Then, be that as it may, the contention among East and West appears to have been survived. While the discussions between the 5 senior officials of the Government of National Accord (GNA) and the 5 of the Libyan National Army (LNA) in the city of Sirte go on, yesterday the new top of the Presidential Council went to Benghazi, in eastern Libya, to meet with General Haftar.
