#Libya

A new ceasefire agreement is announced between #GNA and #LNA

Too early to be optimistic, because, as usual, devil in the details

#Libya
#Egypt’s Sisi welcomed efforts for ceasefire deal between #GNA and #LNA

#Libya

If you just woke up, and read the news about a possible ceasefire deal in Libya, don’t hold your breath.
This is just temporary de-escalation; not solid ceasefire deal.
There are already different interpretations on demilitarisation of #Sirte & who will organise elections

#Libya

•Undoubtedly, the ceasefire is the result of intense American mediations between LNA and GNA
But it clearly welcomed by Egypt as it reinforced Sisi’s red line in #Sirte.
Nonetheless, we should wait to see #Erdogan’s spinning of events!

#Libya

The discrepancies between GNA and LNA statements are shocking and telling:

• GNA: Demilitarised Sirte
LNA: Sirte HQ of a new presidential council

•GNA: Berlin declaration
LNA: Cairo declaration

•GNA:National institutions to supervise oil production
LNA: mute
