Libya's deputy prime minister resigns

Libya's deputy prime minister, Awad al-Barasi, resigned on Saturday, saying he was not given enough powers to carry out his duties.

"I cannot work in a dysfunctional government where my powers are lost," al-Barasi told a news conference in Benghazi. Barasi criticized Prime Minister Ali Zeidan's Cabinet, saying it did not deal with problems in a real manner. (Reuters)
