Will the Libyan ceasefire lead to a peace breakthrough?
CGTN
Libya is currently going through a series of confidence building measures. Last week a ceasefire was reached between the two main rivals, the Government of National Accord (GNA) and the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA) associated with General Khalifa Haftar.
The ceasefire was sponsored by the UN which announced the start of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum this week.
Both developments were encouraging, especially when compared to the fighting which has dominated news form Libya over the past 18 months. But what are the chances of the current process leading to a breakthrough for peace? Or is the present moment only a temporary lull in a conflict which has been going on for much of the past decade?
