The U.N. envoy to Libya said Wednesday that consultations would continue with both of the country's warring factions after the chief of the elected parliament said that Congress had rejected a U.N. proposal to end the crisis. Libya has seen conflict between its internationally recognized government and elected parliament on one side, and a self-styled administration holding Tripoli on the other, with each supported by loose coalitions of armed factions. The United Nations after months of talk has drafted a deal to form a national unity government and has proposed a six-member executive council to lead it. However, both sides have balked at parts of those accords, stalling any final agreement. The chief of the elected House of Representatives based in the eastern city of Tobruk said that Congress had rejected the U.N. proposal. But there were conflicting reports on whether lawmakers had officially voted on the deal.
