Libya has been in turmoil since early 2011, after Arab Spring protests led to the overthrow of the country’s long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi. Currently there are two rival governments in Libya: the internationally-recognized Council of Deputies based in Tobruk and the Tripoli-based General National Congress.

On December 17, the two rival governments struck a UN-brokered accord in the Moroccan city of Skhirat to form a national unity government. On December 23, the UN Security Council backed the agreement, aiming to form a government in Tripoli within 30 days.
