For more than 40 years Libya was ruled with an iron-fist by dictator Muammar Gaddafi… until his reign came to a bloody end in 2011.
But since then the country’s been torn by civil war. Two rival governments, dividing the country east and west.
And both backed by different countries. An international conference in Italy hoped to find a way to end the violence and provide Libya with some stability… the only breakthrough, a commitment to a United Nations plan for elections next year.
So what hope - finally - for peace?
