A plan for power-sharing may be gaining support in Libya
The U.S. plan to bring together the parties to the conflict in Libya through a power-sharing agreement appears to be gaining support, according to a report by Al Jazeera English on the program “Inside Story.”
Libya has been plagued by conflict and deep political divisions for over a decade. Since 2014, the country has been divided between rival administrations in the east and west.
The country has two administrations, two prime ministers, and two centers of government. As Al Jazeera English notes, previous international diplomatic initiatives have failed to break the political deadlock.

In addition to Washington, Turkey is also involved in efforts to bring the sides together. The program discussed whether there is a basis for reaching an agreement and whether these diplomatic efforts could lead to a new escalation.
Participants in the discussion included Anas El-Gomati, founder and director of the Sadeq Institute; William Lawrence, director of the North Africa Studies Program at the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations; and Murat Aslan, a security and defense researcher at the SETA Foundation.
