Libya’s
eastern commander Khalifa Haftar and the head of the U.N-backed government
Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj plan to meet on Tuesday for French-organised
talks on a deal to resolve the country’s crisis.
The
two held talks in Abu Dhabi in May, the first in more than a year and a half,
about a U.N-backed deal Libya’s Western partners hope will end the factional
fighting that has dominated Libya since the 2011 fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
Haftar
has so far rejected the authority of the U.N-backed government as his forces
gain ground in the east of the country supported by Egypt and United Arab
Emirates.
French
President Emmanuel Macron wants France to play a larger role in bringing
Libya’s rival factions together.
