Country has been divided since 2014, with rival governments in the east and west.

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?
