An official in the parliament based in the capital, Tripoli, said Tuesday that it will dispatch its delegation to the UN-sponsored talks to Morocco on Wednesday.

“Our delegation will arrive on Wednesday to start a new round of negotiations,” member of the General National Congress (GNC) Mohammed Saleh al-Makhzum told AFP, confirming that the talks would be held on Thursday in Skhirat outside the Moroccan capital of Rabat.

Libya Dawn, one of armed factions in Libya, took over Tripoli in the summer of 2014. It set up its own government and reinstated the GNC.

The United Nations Security Council on Monday unanimously adopted a statement eagerly calling for the resumption of the talks.

The UNSC urged rival sides to “agree on arrangements on the formation of a national unity government to end Libya’s political, security and institutional crisis.”

It also warned that the body is “prepared to sanction those who threaten Libya’s peace, stability or security or that obstruct or undermine the successful completion of its political transition.”

Libya has two rival camps vying for the control of the country, with one governing Tripoli and the other, which is the internationally recognized government, controlling the eastern cities of Bayda and Tobruk, which is home to the House of Representatives.

The Arab country plunged into chaos following the 2011 uprising against the dictatorship of Muammar Gaddafi, whose ouster gave rise to a patchwork of heavily-armed militias and deep political divisions.
