May 10, 2021 US Ambassador to Libya Richard Norland will take on the additional role as US special envoy, a position aimed at keeping the war-torn country s political process on track, the State Department announced on Monday.  “In his role as US special envoy, Ambassador Norland will lead US diplomatic efforts to promote international support for a Libyan-led, inclusive and negotiated political solution to the conflict, facilitated through the UN,” the department said.  The North African country descended into chaos amid a 2011 uprising that overthrew and killed longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The country since 2014 has been mired in a civil war pitting the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) against retired Gen. Khalifa Hifter’s self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA).
