Bloomberg: Rival Libyan Groups Agree on Unity Cabinet at UN-Backed Talks
Rival Libyan factions announced a unity government at talks backed by the United Nations, taking a tentative step to ease turmoil that has swept the country since a 2011 uprising toppled Muammar Qaddafi.

The deal will now have to overcome opposition in the rival parliaments based in Tripoli and the east, said Mattia Toaldo, a Libya analyst at the European Council on Foreign Relations in London.
