Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar agrees to respect a ceasefire, says he is ready to participate in an international conference in Berlin on Sunday - Germany's foreign minister
Forces loyal to the internationally recognised Libyan Government of National Accord keep a lookout on the roof of a building in an area south of the Libyan capital Tripoli, January 12, 2020.
The leaders of the North African state's warring factions were in Moscow early this week at talks aimed at finalising a ceasefire orchestrated by Russia and Turkey. Maas had travelled to meet Haftar in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi – one of the warlord's strongholds – in a bid to persuade him to join in the peace initiative.
The battle over Tripoli is the latest unrest to wrack Libya since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising killed leader Muammar Gaddafi. Since then, Libya has been caught up in fighting between rival armed factions, including militants.
