]]> Libyan rebel leader Khalifa Haftar says he’ll attend this weekend’s peace conference in Berlin with the leader of the Government of National Accord Fayez Al Sarraj.
He’s been persuaded by Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to return the process he walked out of last weekend.
Khalifa Haftar was speaking in Athens where he is seeing Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Greece has become more involved in Libya’s peace process since Turkey signed a military and maritime cooperation agreement with the Government of National Accord.
The deal gives exploration rights to Turkey in vast swathes of the Mediterranean that are disputed by Greece.
World powers are pressing the Libyan parties to sign an agreement in Berlin that will end nine years of conflict following ousting and death of Muammar Gadaffi.
