Tripoli (AFP) - The head of Libya's UN-backed unity government arrived on Wednesday in Tripoli, a security official said, following growing international calls for political rivals in the violence-plagued country to cede power.

Fayez al-Sarraj, named prime minister-designate under a UN-brokered power-sharing deal, was accompanied by several members of the presidential council, according to the official at the naval base where he arrived.
