Representatives from Libya's warring sides have suspended their participation in United Nations-sponsored peace talks aimed at bringing an end to more than 10 months of fighting.
The move came despite assurances by a spokesperson for the world governing body that negotiations would still go ahead.
Ahmaida Erouhma, who leads the eastern side's Geneva committee, said on Monday his faction's refusal to take part in the negotiations is due to the UN's approval of only eight of 13 names his side put forward for the delegation.
