One of two rival governments in Libya has announced that it is stepping down, a justice ministry statement has said.
The announcement comes less than a week after the arrival in Tripoli of a UN-backed national unity government.
The Tripoli-based administration said it was standing down to prevent further bloodshed.
Since 2014 Libya has had two competing administrations, the one in Tripoli backed by powerful militias and the other in the eastern city of Tobruk.
The Tobruk-based administration, formed by the House of Representatives, still opposes the UN-backed body.
