Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country is starting deployment of troops to Libya in support of the UN-backed government in Tripoli.

The head of Libya's UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) Fayez al-Sarraj and his rival, strongman Khalifa Haftar, are expected to sign a ceasefire agreement in Moscow on Monday, a senior Libyan official said.

Libya’s internationally-recognized government and militia groups under the command of a renegade general agree to a ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey.

Libyan renegade general Khalifa Haftar has rejected calls for a ceasefire by Turkey and Russia, insisting that he would continue his offensive against capital Tripoli.

EU Minister for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell has warned that the situation in Libya is “very dangerous.”

The halt could take place if forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar stop their offensive against Tripoli.

Head of Libya’s parliament rejects security deal between UN-backed government and Turkey.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's communications director says Libya has asked for Ankara's military aid.

Security forces engage in fresh clashes with protesters in several Lebanese cities, prompting officials to warn against a sectarian strife in the conflict-ridden country.

Turkey is reportedly planning to establish a military base in Libya aimed at providing greater support for the Tripoli-based unity Government of National Accord.
