Libya Eyes Unification as US and Regional Powers Push Power-Sharing Deal
Fifteen years after the uprising that toppled Gaddafi, Libya remains divided between the UN-recognized Government of National Unity in Tripoli and Khalifa Haftar’s Tobruk-based administration. The US and regional powers, including Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, are pressing for a single government and a roadmap that might link unity to oil investment and a presidential-parliamentary transition, with Haftar’s son Saddam floated as a potential president. While some signs suggest Haftar’s camp is open to the plan, no unified government has emerged and talks remain ongoing, framed by a broader push toward elections and national dialogue under UNSMIL.
