The United Nations says the two sides fighting in Libya – the UN-backed, Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, and insurgents led by Benghazi-based warlord Khalifa Haftar – have agreed to return to the peace table.
The Media Line turned to Tim Eaton, a Libya analyst at Chatham House, the London-based Royal Institute of International Affairs, for some insight into what led to this development, and a look at the players, both local and foreign.
