What does Libya’s ceasefire deal contain?
Al JazeeraAs Libya’s warring factions sign a permanent ceasefire, we take a look at the key details. Libya’s warring sides signed an agreement for a permanent ceasefire on Friday in Geneva, representing a step forward in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, though there is scepticism over whether the truce will last. UN acting Libya envoy Stephanie Williams said they had agreed to a complete, countrywide, permanent ceasefire with immediate effect. Any military agreements either side has struck with their foreign backers must also be suspended until a new unified government is in place, the deal said, with all foreign military trainers to depart. A new joint police operations room would secure areas from which the two sides’ military forces have withdrawn.
