Khalifa Haftar’s forces have been moving towards the capital Tripoli as the internationally recognized government struggles to repel them. Efforts by the UN to reconcile the rivals have lasted almost a year.
Peace talks between the government of Libya and rival military commander Khalifa Haftar collapsed on Monday after 10 months of conflict, the parties announced.
The rival eastern-Libya parliament, backed by warlord Haftar, said it would not take part in the United-Nations-backed talks as not all of its 13 representatives had been approved.
This announcement came just a few hours after the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL)
