[Regnum] In the capital of Libya, Tripoli, an agreement on a temporary ceasefire came into force on August 10. This was reported by the official representative of the Tripoli rescue and emergency services, Osama Ali.

He said that the warring parties, the national unity government of Abdelhamid Dbeibah and the government of Osama Hammad, had agreed to a truce between the armed groups that support them.

"A safe corridor has been provided for the evacuation of more than 60 families. Work is continuing to evacuate the rest," Gazeta.Ru quoted a source at the Tripoli emergency medical center as saying.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, there are two governments in Libya that do not recognize each other. The Dbeibah government is based in Tripoli. The Libyan parliament passed a vote of confidence in it in March 2021. The Hammad government is based in Benghazi and is supported by the Libyan National Army of Khalifa Haftar.

Last July, President Vladimir Putin met with the head of the Libyan presidential council, Mohammed al-Menfi, in St. Petersburg. The Russian leader announced Moscow's plans to continue to facilitate a settlement in Libya based on ensuring the country's "unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity."
