AlHijjah 8, 1436, Sep 22, 2015, SPA -- The United Nations on Monday handed Libya's warring factions a final draft of a peace accord to end their conflict, telling the factions the U.N.'s work was over and they must take the deal or leave it, according to Reuters. The U.N.-sponsored agreement, after months of stalled negotiations, aims to end fighting between two rival governments and their armed backers that has pushed Libya close to collapse four years after Muammar Gaddafi's demise. Western powers want the U.N. deal to resolve the conflict that has allowed militants to gain ground in the chaos and smugglers to profit by shipping migrants and asylum seekers from Libya's coast to Europe. U.N. envoy Bernardino Leon had set September 20 as a date for a deal. He told reporters on Monday that he hoped the factions would now return to reach a final agreement after the Eid Al-Adhathis week and before October 20, when the mandate of the elected parliament ends. -- SPA 02:48 LOCAL TIME 23:48 GMT تغريد
