Libyan members of parliament convened on Monday for the first official session since the parliamentary elections in June, dpa reported. "We will prove to the world that Libya is not a failed state, but will rise very soon to become a model state with the help of its sons," the session's head, lawmaker Abu Bakr Baira said at the beginning of the session. Around 170 lawmakers met in the eastern port city of Tobruk, where a consultative, emergency session was held on Saturday to discuss the violence that has gripped Libya for more than two weeks.
