Implementation of the agreement has begun in the east of Libya ; a second phase to include the west and south of Libya is expected to follow.
The signing of the Coexistence Agreement by Issa and Haftar marks an important turning point for the State of Libya . Since the 2011 Civil War, wherein Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and more than 30,000 Libyans died, the country has been torn by regional, tribal conflict. This new phase intends to draw Libya out of its dark age and into a new age of unity, integrity and welfare of its citizens.
