> Libya’s eastern-based House of Representatives voted to replace Speaker Aguila Saleh with Al-Salhin Abdelnabi al-Obeidi, ending Saleh’s 12-year tenure. The move followed growing complaints from lawmakers and a decision to limit the speaker and deputies to single 12-month terms, amid Libya’s ongoing political division.
