Paris says all parties in Libya must work together to end the cycle of violence that has divided the country and decimated the economy.

In a statement released by the French Foreign Ministry this week, all sides involved in the unrest that has wreaked havoc on conflict-torn Libya must work together towards finding a political solution and refrain from violence.
