Is the West an honest broker in Libya?
Libya's status as a failed state will be compounded unless the warring factions can honor an initial agreement and implement a ceasefire following a new, tentative deal.
The deal is being brokered by new French president Emmanuel Macron, the UN-backed Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj and the military commander pulling the strings in the east - Khalifa Haftar.
They have committed to ending the bloodshed in the chaotic country and holding elections as soon as possible. But having been primarily responsible for the destruction in Libya, will the West stand aside and give Libya a chance to heal?
After the intervention of the West in 2011 that led to the overthrow - and killing - of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan people have had to watch as their country has been torn apart.
To top it off, the refugee crisis that threatens not just Libya's future but has far reaching consequences for Europe has still not been properly addressed. In the midst of such devastation, can the West really be trusted to be an honest broker for peace?
