Rival factions have been fighting for power since the fall of Col Gaddafi’s government in 2011
Egyptian negotiators trying to broker an end to the war in Libya say they have had some success in their efforts to bring together two key players.
The head of the UN-backed government, Fayez Serraj and his rival, the powerful military commander, Khalifa Haftar have agreed to form a joint committee.
It will aim to work out a power-sharing agreement that would be followed by elections within a year.
However, the two men never met face-to-face during the negotiations in Cairo. Analysts say that given the lack of trust between them it’s unclear how successful the new joint committee will be.
