Tripoli, 12 Jumadil Akhir 1436/1 April 2015 (MINA) – Libya’s legally installed government, the General National Congress (GNC), has removed Omar al-Hassi from his post as prime minister.

Omar Hemidan, the spokesman for the GNC, said on Tuesday that the decision was the first step for dialogue among Libya’s warring factions, Al Jazeera quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The GNC operates out of the capital Tripoli while the UN-recognised government, the House of Representatives (HoR), was driven out of the capital last year and has been confined to the small eastern city of Tobruk.

In an effort to address the country’s political crisis, delegates from the rival administrations have been meeting at UN-brokered talks in what has been described as one of the last chances to stop the country from plunging into a full-scale civil war.
