Libya's warring sides have proposed a draft ceasefire agreement that will see the United Nations monitor the safe return of civilians to their homes.

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), said it would facilitate the ceasefire process, alongside a military commission with members from both sides.

The announcement came after a second round of indirect military talks in Geneva, between Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA), and eastern military commander Khalifa Haftar's forces.

According to the UN, the talks mediated by UN envoy Ghassan Salame, are aimed at brokering lasting ceasefire to fighting, that has left more than 1 000 people dead, and displaced some 140 000 since last April.

Several rounds of talks focused on economic issues including fairer distribution of Libya's oil wealth, have also taken place in Egypt and Tunisia, and talks towards a political solution are scheduled to start in Geneva tomorrow.
