Namane says that political agreement between the two rivals is the best way to prevent Daesh from reasserting itself in the country. While officials declared absolute victory against the terrorist group after kicking them out of their stronghold in Sirte, there are signs that hundreds of Daesh militants, are regrouping in nearby areas. On October 4, three Daesh militants launched a suicide attack against a courthouse in Misrata, killing two security guards, a prosecutor, and a fourth person. The attack was seen as revenge for the role of militias from Misrata in driving Daesh out of Sirte. However, a sustainable settlement to the political and governance crisis in Libya at all levels could diminish chances of the group surviving.
