Geneva, Feb 4, 2020 – Representatives of the warring parties in Libya meeting in Geneva have agreed on the principle of turning their shaky truce into a lasting ceasefire, the UN’s Libya envoy said on Tuesday. Now the question is what are the conditions,” Ghassan Salame told reporters in Geneva. The talks started on Monday and were expected to continue on Tuesday, Salame said. “There is a genuine will for both parties to sit together and start negotiating together,” he said. Libya has been mired in chaos since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising that killed longtime dictator Moamer Kadhafi, with two rival administrations vying for power.
