Tripoli (AFP) – Libya’s unity government is to take control of three ministries from Monday, its deputy prime minister said, in the latest step to assert its authority over the conflict-torn country.

The government’s deputy prime minister, Ahmed Maiteeq, told a press conference that it would begin running the ministries of social affairs, youth and sports, and housing and public works from Monday, regardless of the results of a confidence vote due the same day.
