South Africa's President Ramaphosa signs Presidential Proclamation for Act's full and immediate implementation

The United Nations presented a new plan for Libya that aims to overcome the political deadlock, and put the country back on the path to long-awaited presidential elections. The UN told the Security Council that the plan will address the political impasse and stop the deteriorating humanitarian situation in that country. Libya has undergone a chaotic decade since it split in 2014 between two administrations in its east and west following the NATO-backed uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The warring parties have agreed, at talks in Morocco, last Thursday to work together with a United Nations Mission to pave the way for elections.

The UN recently announced a new initiative  for Libya to overcome a three-year deadlock 

Sudan's militant group the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters, say they will work with a planned new government to oversee territories they control. The starkest move they have made towards a partition of the country after 20 months of civil war. The RSF has been fighting the national army since April last year and now controls large strips of central and western Sudan including most of the capital Khartoum and the Darfur region, its traditional base. A group of civilian politicians and armed group leaders have agreed to set up what they describe as a "peace government".  Africa Rise and Shine's Peter Ndoro spoke to Dr Charles Nyuykonge an International Consultant and African Peace and Conflict Analyst...

Sudan's RSF plans to work with new government 

Libya has been grappling with political fragmentation and instability since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, leading to years of division between rival factions.

After more than a decade of turmoil, including a failed election attempt in 2021, talks happening in Morocco have brought together delegations from two key legislative bodies-the High Council of State in Tripoli and the House of Representatives in Benghazi.

In their discussions, they have agreed to work with the United Nations to pave the way for elections and form a national unity government, with a focus on institutional and security reforms.

However, scepticism remains among Libyans about whether these political leaders will genuinely cooperate for a peaceful resolution.

To discuss this, we are now joined on the line by Journalist and researcher Elizia Volkmann.
