Libya's opposing governments have committed to a conditional ceasefire following talks in France. UN-backed Prime Minister, Fayez al-Sarraj and Khalifa Haftar, the rival military commander who controls the east, met in Paris yesterday in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron and United Nations special envoy for Libya, Ghassan Salame to end the conflict which has engulfed the country since 2011. <br/><br/>In a joint statement after the meeting, both the leaders said they have committed to a ceasefire and refrain from any use of armed force for any purpose that does not strictly constitute counter-terrorism. They also pledged to move towards holding elections, which could take place as early as 2018 and building the rule of law in a country struggling to control the armed groups which have stepped into the power vacuum left by the Gaddafi regime.<br/>Mr Sarraj's Government of National Accord (GNA), which is backed by the UN and based in the capital Tripoli, has tried to win the support of the various militias and politicians since coming to power in 2016. <br/><br/>But Gen Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), based in Tobruk, refuses to recognise the GNA. Gen Haftar is leading the battle against Islamist militants, and recently declared victory in Benghazi, the country's second city.
