Piecing Together a Fragile Libya

Representatives from Libya’s warring parties began talks in Geneva on Monday.  The discussions, known as the Libya Military Joint Commission are led by the UN, and are attended by five officers from the UN recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli, and five officers appointed by the renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar.

Monday’s talks come after more than a dozen world leaders met in Berlin last month to express both concerns and ideas about how to best address the degrading situation in Libya. Representatives from multiple nations and organizations were present including the European Union, the United Nations and the African Union. The meeting resulted in a communique that laid out what might be an ideal path to a more peaceful (and stable) future, if in fact, they key players took it to heart.
