Rival parties in Libya announced a historic ceasefire followed by five days of the 5+5 Libyan Joint Military Commission (JMC) talks in Geneva. This gives way to the possibility that the long-drawn conflict might be coming to an end.

  • As per this new ceasefire agreement facilitated by the UN, all foreign mercenaries and armed forces will have to withdraw within the next 90 days. 
  • The parties also agreed that any violations in the ceasefire will be dealt by a joint military force, which will be under a unified command.
  • The agreement has also established a Joint Police Operations room that will implement and propose special arrangements to secure the areas that are cleared of military units and armed groups.
  • The 5+5 have also agreed to open the land and air routes that connect the regions and cities of Libya.

Verifying, please be patient.
