US Ambassador Richard Norland met Wednesday with Libyan warlord Khalifa Hifter in Cairo in a continuing bid to help reunify the country after a decade of civil war.
Norland’s meeting with Hifter comes as preparations for Libya’s December parliamentary and presidential elections — which are to follow last year’s UN-backed cease-fire — are faltering.
