Libya has been in state of a civil war since its longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011. Since then, the state has been home to two rival governments: the Council of Deputies based in Tobruk and the Tripoli-based General National Congress. The two governments agreed to create the Government of National Accord, form the Presidency Council, and end the political impasse in late 2015. Backed by the United Nations and without the support of the Tobruk parliament, the Government of National Accord in Tripoli started its work in late March 2016.
