TRIPOLI, April 6, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A conference between Libya’s warring parties set to start on April 14 is to go ahead despite renewed fighting around Tripoli, the United Nations’ envoy said Saturday.

“We are determined” to hold the talks as scheduled “unless major circumstances prevent us”, Ghassan Salame said at a press conference in the capital, target of a new offensive this week by military strongman Khalifa Haftar.
