Libya Peace Initiative: Can Egypt and Türkiye’s Efforts End the Political Deadlock?
Nearly fourteen years after Gaddafi’s fall plunged Libya into chaos, hope is stirring as Türkiye and Egypt step in to mediate between the rival factions. The Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tripoli, led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, and the Government of National Stability (GNS) in Sirte, backed by Khalifa Haftar, are showing early signs of cooperation. Joint appointments and resumed local elections signal a fragile but meaningful shift toward peace. While challenges remain, this renewed partnership offers a real chance for Libya’s unity and lasting stability.
