Rival Libya factions sign deal to hold national elections within two years

Rival Libyan factions have signed an agreement to hold national elections within two years, marking progress toward political unification. The deal was signed at the UN mission in Tripoli following an initial draft signed by a UN-backed committee in Tunis. The agreement outlines plans for legislative and presidential elections under a unified executive authority within 24 months. The process involves representatives from both the House of Representatives (eastern Libya) and the High Council of State (western Libya). Despite the agreement, skepticism persists regarding its effectiveness, particularly concerning governance during the interim period and challenges such as resource control and security. Analysts note that while the UN and mediators have worked since 2011 to resolve Libya's division, implementation remains the main obstacle.
