️🇱🇾🇹🇷 Deputy Commander of the Libyan National Army, Saddam Haftar, is in Turkey alongside officials from the UN-recognized Government of National Unity (GNU), as negotiations progress towards a possible military unification agreement.

The expected agreement may lay the groundwork for the integration of rival military structures into a unified national force, which will provide an answer to years of fragmented security command. However, implementation will face major challenges, including competing political interests, competing chains of command, and the division of power between eastern and western Libya.

The talks come against the backdrop of growing economic pressure and growing uncertainty regarding the political order in western Libya. If implemented effectively, military unification could be a major step toward rebuilding national institutions, although a signed agreement alone will not ensure lasting stability.
