Libya's elected parliament suspends participation in UN-backed talks -MP
 

Libya's elected parliament voted on Monday to suspend its participation in a U.N.-sponsored dialogue between Libya's rival conflict parties, vying for control of the oil producer, a lawmaker said. The United Nations has hosted several rounds of talks between the conflict parties since September, inside and outside Libya, to help defuse a violent power struggle threatening to break up the **rth African country. Lawmaker Essam al-Arabi told Reuters the House of Representatives had voted to suspend its participation. The house has been based in the east, like the internationally recognised government, since a faction called Libya Dawn seized the capital Tripoli in August, reinstating the previous assembly and installing a rival government.
