The United Nation's special envoy to Libya, Bernardino Leon, said Tuesday the UN-sponsored dialogue between warring Libyan factions in Algeria indicated a new promising path to end the Libyan crisis. Leon added that the dialogue is of "paramount importance, as all participants are seeking to build a democratic Libya free from terrorism." Algeria's delegate minister for Maghreb and African affairs, Abdelkader Messahel said his country hosted this dialogue to help the Libyan parties end the years-long crisis by forming a national unity government in Libya. The meeting was attended by the head of Justice and Construction party Mohamed Sawan, head of the National Party Abdul Hakim Belhadj, head of the Change party Gomaa Al-Ghemati, , and Ali Al-Takbali, a member of Tabruk Parliament. Libya has been witnessing a rising insurgency by different rebel groups and militias, since the overthrow of Gaddafi's regime in 2011. Currently, two opposing governments are operating in Libya, with the internationally recognized Al-Thinni's government and the House of Representatives in Tobruk, eastern Libya, and Omar Al-Hasi's government and the Islamist-backed General National Congress, in Tripoli, western Libya.
