Libya's Rival Forces Join Drills

The special forces exercises were intended to improve coordination and build trust between the former civil war rivals.

Libya has been split between competing governments since 2014, with various international powers backing different factions.

U.S. officials stated that the joint drills underscore a shared commitment to regional stability and the fight against terrorism.

While challenges to a full political settlement remain, the military cooperation is seen as a rare positive development in the country's long-running conflict.
