The UN hopes the agreement will give fresh impetus to political and economic talks taking place in a parallel process.

GENEVA - Libya's two warring factions signed a "permanent" ceasefire agreement on Friday after five days of talks at the United Nations, which hailed the deal as a historic moment following years of turmoil and bloodshed.

Williams said the parties agreed that "all military units and armed groups on the front lines shall return to their camps", while "all mercenaries and foreign fighters" must leave within three months. But hopes for a solution rose after the two sides separately announced in August that they would cease hostilities.

The JMC will reconvene within weeks to work on unifying their armed forces and the departure of foreign fighters. But in a post on his administration's Facebook page, he urged accountability for "those who committed crimes against Libyans or left landmines and mass graves as they withdrew". "Today's ceasefire agreement was actually not made at the highest level, it was at a lower level. Time will tell whether it will last," Erdogan said. "So it seems to me that it lacks credibility."
