Reuters: Libyan forces loyal to Haftar announces conditional ceasefire: spokesman
BENGHAZI (Reuters) - Libyan eastern forces loyal to commander Khalifa Haftar announced on Saturday a ceasefire in the western region, which includes the capital Tripoli, starting 00:01 a.m. on Sunday (22:01 GMT) conditioned on acceptance by their rivals, a spokesman said.
Since April, Libyan National Army forces loyal to Haftar have been waging a campaign to take Tripoli, where they are battling forces aligned with the internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).
LNA on Thursday rebuffed a call by Turkey and Russia for the warring parties to declare a ceasefire amid clashes and air strikes in a conflict drawing increasing foreign involvement and concern.

I credit Putin. Not out of the interest of his good heart, but for his national interest.
Erdogan came with too little, too late. Erdogan does not want to face off with the Russians or Russian PMC. Haftar has made recent gains and appears to be winning but a pause allows him to consolidate those gains.
Erdogan was given a face saving way out.
It now comes to Putin and Erdogan to clean up the disaster that Obama/Hillary made out of Libya. (And Syria)
