TRIPOLI, 14 March, 2020, (TON):  The newly-selected Prime Minister of Libya, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, held the first meeting with the cabinet office on Saturday, 13th March. 

The meeting was aimed at developing "a plan of the office's work and coordination with the ministries and public institutions of the Government of National Unity," said a statement by the Information Office of the Government. 

Meanwhile, Libya's House of Representatives on Wednesday granted confidence to the government led by Dbeibah. 

The new government will be sworn in next Monday, according to a spokesman for the House of Representatives. 

In the previous month, Libya marked 10 years since the start of its 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi, plunging the country into a decade of violence and political turmoil. 

Today, the oil-rich North African nation is split between two rival administrations, as well as rebel groups.
