Libya’s new interim Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh will postpone a visit to the country’s east that had been planned for Monday to demonstrate his unity government’s progress in ending years of division between warring factions.

His spokesman Mohamed Hamouda said in a social media post that the visit had been postponed without giving details.

Dbeibeh’s visit to Benghazi on Monday was to have been the first by a Tripoli-based prime minister in years, a moment intended to encapsulate a rare opportunity to end its conflict.
