World leaders gather in Berlin Sunday to make a fresh push for peace in Libya

Protesters wave flags and step on posters of some world leaders as they rally against warlord Khalifa Haftar and in support of the UN-backed government of Libya in Martyrs Square, Tripoli on January 10, 2020.

But hours ahead of the meeting, Haftar's militia upped the ante by blocking oil exports at the war-ravaged country's key ports, crippling the main source of income in a protest against Turkey's decision to send troops to shore up Sarraj's Tripoli-based Government of National Accord . Most recently, Sarraj's troops in Tripoli have been under attack since April from Haftar's ruthless militia.

Underlining the stakes involved, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said "Europe and those players who are influential" in the region have all been called to Berlin, because "we have to make sure Libya doesn't become a second Syria."Sarraj meanwhile issued a call for international "protection troops" if Haftar were to keep up his offensive.
