- Story Text: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Seraj in Vienna on Monday (May 16) ahead of talks on political transition in Libya and providing support for the country's new unity government.
The meeting will focus on international efforts to bring stability to Libya, where two rival governments have vied for power since 2014, opening the way for Islamic State to establish itself and gain ground in the North African state.
Prime Minister Fayez Seraj's U.N-backed Government of National Accord arrived in Tripoli a month ago, but it has faced resistance from hardliners in both the Libyan factions running rival governments. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
