Ministerial meeting on Libya begins in London

LONDON

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson joined Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Serrai in a ministerial meeting in London Monday to find ways to end the political uncertainty in violence-wracked Libya.

The official twitter account of the U.S. embassy in London also posted a picture of Kerry sitting with fellow foreign ministers at the outset of their meeting.

Representatives from France, Italy, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are also participating.

Libya has been locked in a state of violence and turmoil since 2011, when a bloody uprising ended with the ouster and death of longtime strongman Gaddafi.

Since then, the country’s stark political divisions have yielded two rival seats of government, one in Tobruk and another in the capital Tripoli.
