This picture taken on November 2, 2020 shows a view of the aircraft of the UN's acting envoy to Libya at the airport in Ghadames, a desert oasis some 465 kilometres (290 miles) southwest of the capital Tripoli. - Rival Libyan military officers began talks on November 2 on home soil for the first time following a ceasefire agreement last month, discussing implementation of the deal. The three-day meeting of the joint military commission is taking place at a remote area near Libya's borders with both Algeria and Tunisia, far from the power bases of either side.
