Deputy Prime Minister Libya, 2011-2012 - Dr Mustafa Abushagur
Stephen Sackur talks to Libyan politician Mustafa Abushagur about the challenges of uniting a fragmenting state and the continued threat from the Islamic State group.
Stephen Sackur talks to Libyan politician Mustafa Abushagur, briefly prime minister in 2012 and a backer of the unity government. Over the last five years the Libyan state has been shattered into fragments - now it has a UN backed government committed to restoring unity. But the political scene remains confused and jihadists from Islamic state pose a continued threat. Is Libya beyond salvation?
