For more than a decade, Libya has been struggling with both conflict and deep political divisions.
A number of international diplomatic initiatives have failed to end the impasse.
It has two rival administrations, two prime ministers and two seats of government.
Now, a US plan to unify the warring parties under a power-sharing deal seems to be gathering momentum.
Alongside Washington, Turkiye has also been involved in bringing the parties together.
But is there common ground to reach a deal? Or could all this be a recipe for renewed fighting?
