Charting a Different Path Forward for Libya: The Role of Incremental Agreements

By

Mariam Alsoudi  and Misbah Omar

Since the fall of Muammar Gaddafiโ€™s regime in 2011, Libya has faced political fragmentation, economic instability, and security challenges, while traditional attempts at comprehensive peace agreements have struggled to address the countryโ€™s deep divisions.

This paper advocates for an alternative approach: incremental agreements, a strategy that prioritises step-by-step solutions to build trust, cooperation, and long-term stability. By breaking down major disputes into smaller, manageable agreements, Libya can create a foundation for sustainable peace, reducing the risks associated with large-scale political settlements while allowing for adaptable and locally driven solutions.
