Merkel Will Host Libya Conference in Berlin on 19 January

The office of German chancellor Angela Merkel stated
on Tuesday that Germany will host Libya peace conference in the country's
capital on Sunday.
Germany has invited Fayez al-Sarraj, head of the
UN-supported administration in Tripoli, and General Khalifa Hafter of the rival
Libyan National Army to attend the meeting.
Representatives of Russia, the US, the UK, France,
China, Turkey and the UAE have also been invited, according to the statement.
On Monday, Haftar met with Libya's UN-recognised
prime minister, Fayez Sarraj in the Russian capital for talks mediated by
Russia and Turkey.
However, early this morning, it was announced that
the general had left Moscow without signing a ceasefire deal. According to the
Russian Defence Ministry, Haftar was positive about signing the final statement
with the Government of National Accord (GNA) but needed two days for domestic
discussions.
