Libya’s internationally-recognised authorities, the Government of National Accord (GNA), have announced a ceasefire with the renegade general Khalifa Haftar.
The head of the GNA, Fayez al-Sarraj, instructed government forces to immediately cease fire and all combat operations.
The United Nations welcomed the move.
Earlier this year Gen Haftar, whose base is in the eastern city of Benghazi, failed to take over the capital, Tripoli, after Turkey intensified its military support for the government forces.
