Libya civil war: Rivals to join major powers in Germany
BBC News:Libya's warring rival factions are expected to join major powers in Germany in a renewed push to secure a ceasefire to halt the civil war.
The talks follow the collapse of an earlier truce amid recriminations.
The conflict pits powerful General Khalifa Haftar against the UN-backed government in the capital, Tripoli.
Sunday's summit also aims to extract a pledge from foreign powers to honour a UN arms embargo and to halt any further interference in the conflict.
On Saturday, forces loyal to Gen Haftar blocked oil exports from major ports - a blow to the country's main source of income.
And reports on Sunday suggest the general's forces had shut down pipelines in Libya as the conference got under way.
