TOBRUK, Libya, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Libya's only internationally recognized legitimate leader, Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni, has announced his resignation.
His Cabinet, working from hotel rooms in the eastern city of Tobruk and before that, in Benghazi, after armed insurgent groups seized the capital of Tripoli one year ago, has been criticized as ineffective in stopping Libya's violence. The House of Representatives, installed in a Tobruk hotel, moved to a nearby naval base in December 2014 after a suicide bomber attacked the hotel.
