Libyan presidential council member resigns, citing failure
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — A prominent member of the presidential council of Libya's U.N.-backed government in Tripoli has resigned.
Musa al-Koni's resignation at a televised press conference Monday was the first such move by one of the nine members of the council, formed in early 2016.
Al-Koni, a deputy Prime Minister from southern Libya, cited the body's failure to assert authority over state institutions or provide services to citizens as a reason for his resignation.
