Libyan forces loyal to Haftar announce conditional ceasefire: Spokesman
Libya forces loyal to eastern-based commander Khalifa Haftar announced on Saturday (January 11) a ceasefire starting 00:01 a.m. (22:01 GMT) on Sunday (January 12) conditional on acceptance by their rivals, spokesman Ahmed Mismari said in a statement.
Turkey and Russia urged Libya's warring parties on Wednesday (January 8) to declare a ceasefire on Sunday amid clashes and air strikes in a conflict drawing increasing foreign involvement and concern.
Turkey backs Fayez al-Sarraj's Tripoli-based, internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), while Russian military contractors have been deployed alongside General Khalifa Haftar's eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA).
Backed by Egypt and the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Haftar's forces and an array of militia groups loyal to the self-proclaimed Libyan commander launched an offensive against the capital last April to unseat the GNA, which was quickly repelled on the city’s outskirts.
