International Efforts to Resolve Political Impasse in Libya

International diplomatic efforts are increasing to address the political impasse in Libya, which is currently divided between two rival governments. The focus of these efforts is on organizing new elections, which are seen as a potential step towards establishing a unified governance structure in the country. Experts involved in the discussions include Mustafa Fetouri, an independent Libyan academic and journalist; William Lawrence, Director of the North African Area Studies Program at the National Council on US-Arab Relations and a former US diplomat in Libya; and Faraj Najem, a Libyan historian and political researcher, who authored 'Tribe, Islam and State in Libya.'
