has rejected the ceasefire agreement, signed on 23 October 2020, between Libya’s rival parties in Geneva. It continues to violate the terms of the agreement by training Government of National Accord (GNA) forces. The agreement calls for the freezing of all foreign military pacts with Libya, until a new government is formed.

The agreement also stipulates for the withdrawal of all mercenaries and imported muscle from the country. A number of Libyan politicians have called for the closure of airspace to Ottoman Turkish aviation.
