Overview
- Pakistani mediators have quietly circulated a draft 'Libya Reunification Plan' that would create a 36‑month transitional Government of National Consensus and a Presidential Council and the proposal is under negotiation not finalised.
- Under the draft, Abdulhamid Dbeibah would remain prime minister while Saddam Haftar would serve as chairman of the Presidential Council and Khalifa Haftar’s faction would gain authority over the national budget.
- Sources say the United States is aware of and involved in Islamabad’s effort, Saudi Arabia has offered support, and Qatar and Türkiye encouraged Pakistan to take a mediating role.
- High‑level contacts have added momentum to the talks, including a recent meeting between Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir and Saddam Haftar in Rawalpindi followed days later by Haftar’s visit to Washington where he met senior US officials.
- Analysts warn the plan faces big hurdles—disputes over oil revenues, key posts and election rules, competing foreign patrons, and concerns about Pakistan’s defence ties with the eastern LNA under a UN arms embargo make the deal’s durability uncertain and could entrench existing powerbrokers if not resolved.
