Pakistan seeks to help broker US-backed Libya initiative, sources say

Pakistan is reportedly attempting to mediate a U.S.-backed initiative aimed at unifying Libya's divided eastern and western governments, according to political and diplomatic sources. The effort, led by U.S. senior adviser Massad Boulos, seeks to resolve years of political stalemate in Libya following the 2011 ousting of leader Muammar Gaddafi. A Benghazi-based politician stated that Pakistan's strong ties with eastern Libya and support from Saudi Arabia could aid the initiative, though both sides show little willingness to engage in power-sharing. The U.S. State Department confirmed cooperation with international partners but did not specifically address Pakistan's involvement. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's stance remains unclear, and Pakistan's growing role as a regional mediator continues to expand its diplomatic influence.

Bias read (Center): The article presents information about Pakistan's potential role in Libyan mediation without overtly favoring either side. It includes quotes from multiple sources, including a political figure and an African diplomat, and reports on U.S. and Saudi responses without taking a clear ideological stance
