Libya, Neighbors Hold Talks in Cairo to End Country’s Crisis

Rival Libyan leaders met Saturday in Cairo with diplomats from seven neighboring states to discuss forming a new government acceptable to all parties. Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told journalists that further talks would take place in Algeria next week.

Diplomatic talks between rival Libyan leaders and representatives of Egypt, Tunisia, Sudan, Algeria, Chad, Niger and Mali ended Saturday with an agreement to hold further discussions next week in Algeria.

Behind-the-scenes meetings between key players in the Libya negotiations, including army general Khalifa Hafter, also have been taking place.

Hafter, who commands Libyan military forces in the eastern part of the country, is opposed by political figures close to the Muslim Brotherhood.
