A fragile truce has been reached in Tripoli under Turkish mediation. Over the weekend, Libyan Prime Minister Abdelhamid Dbeibah and the powerful Radaa Force struck a preliminary agreement aimed at easing tensions in the capital.

The militia, which controls Mitiga airport as well as prisons and detention centres, agreed to hand the airport back to the Ministry of Defence, unify management of western Libya’s four airports, and place some prisons under the Attorney General’s authority.

The deal also calls for the replacement of judicial police chief Osama Najim, wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

Analysts, however, warn the accord is more about averting imminent clashes than resolving Libya’s deeper instability.

The agreement remains fragile. Within the Radaa Force, factions are split over the leadership of Abderraouf Kara and the terms of the compromise.

Meanwhile, other militias still control large swathes of Tripoli and nearby towns like Zawiya, leaving the capital vulnerable to fresh unrest despite Saturday’s breakthrough.
