Tripoli Power Struggle Prompts Egypt Visit by UN Special Libya Envoy

Edward Yeranian

   CAIRO - A week of protests in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and an
   apparent power struggle inside the National Unity Government that
   controls the west of the country have both the U.N. and regional power
   brokers Egypt and Turkey jockeying to resume stalled political talks
   inside the country.
   A popular protest movement in the Libyan capital of Tripoli is calling
   for a major government reshuffle to deal with the many crises facing
   the country. Public anger brought crowds into the streets again
   Saturday to decry poor government services, including lengthy
   electricity blackouts.
