(AFP) TUNIS - The head of the Libyan presidential council of the Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez al-Sarraj, sent a clear message Monday to Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha and the UN mission and its head Stephanie Williams that he intends to remain in office and shield himself for that purpose behind a number of warlords and militia leaders to thwart any settlement formula that does not satisfy him and his allies. Sarraj decided to create a security apparatus called the "Stability Support Authority" at a time when the UN mission has opened the door to voting on an election mechanism for new authorities in Libya, as agreed upon by the advisory committee at last week's Geneva meeting, and when Williams has confirmed the process is underway to agree on new authorities.
