Could a coalition government finally bring peace to Libya?

Three prominent leaders in Libya have pledged to form a unified government aimed at resolving the enduring conflict and supervising the long-awaited elections.

For the last 10 years Libya has been split into two – East and West - each with its own government.

And in 2021 an attempt at elections failed after some questioned the eligibility of the main candidates.

So why is this happening now? And could a coalition government finally bring some peace to Libya?
