After hours-long negotiations in Moscow in order to agree on an unconditional and open-ended ceasefire in Libya, the head of the United Nations-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez al-Sarraj, signed the draft ceasefire agreement, however his rival, Commander of eastern-based forces, Khalifa Hafter, asked for more time to make a decision.
The negotiations between warring sides in Moscow, in which the defense ministers of Turkey and Russia acted as mediators, were aimed at formalizing a ceasefire that started in Libya on Sunday.
