The heads of two rival Libyan camps issued separate statements on Wednesday promising to work to end the country’s crisis, without, however, outlining any concrete measures over a political deal.

An Italian politician has accused non-governmental organisations that are active in rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean of exploiting their position and trafficking migrants into slavery.

The government must set up a fund for victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism if a deal with Libya looks unlikely at the end of this year, a Parliamentary committee has said, according to Belfast News Letter.

The head of Libya’s UN-backed unity government on Tuesday held a rare meeting with a military strongman who supports a rival authority in the violence-wracked country, official media said.

US President Donald Trump has pressed for Libyan military strongman Khalifa Haftar to pledge support for the UN-backed Unity government, an Egyptian official has told The New Arab.

Field Marshal Khalifa Hafter flew from Benghazi’s Benina Airport today to Abu Dhabi amid speculation that he will meet with Presidency Council head Faiez Serraj there.

The Foreign Minister of the Libyan UN-proposed government, Moahmmed Sayala said Monday that Austria is soon to reopen its embassy in Tripoli and resume flights to Libya.

NATO has said it would assist Libya’s Presidential Council to rebuild the country’s defense departments. The announcement was made by Jens Stoltenberg, the organization’s Secretary General at a press conference with Italian Premier Paulo Gentiloni, last week in Rome.

Rescuers said they had found four bodies off the Libyan coast and an empty rubber dinghy, signalling another migrant tragedy in the Mediterranean.

Libya’s revolution quickly went from peaceful protests to armed conflict. Long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi attempted to violently supress protestors, which led to a NATO intervention.
