Libya: Tobruk eyes guns and oil

Islamic State (IS) attacks on oil sector targets make it ever more urgent that the conflict between the democratically elected House of Representatives (HoR) in Tobruk and the rival Tripoli-based General National Congress (GNC) is resolved. United Nations Support Mission in Libya leader Bernardino Leon is pushing hard at talks in Morocco for a unity government-based peace deal. But widespread suspicion that GNC-backed Fajr Libya forces may have colluded in the attacks will damage already low levels of trust. Many HoR supporters believe it is capable of achieving military dominance, and do not understand why it should give up its democratic authority.
