Rival Libya leaders meet in Geneva in bid to salvage elections

        The heads of Libya's two rival legislative chambers met in Geneva on Tuesday for negotiations aimed at restoring a U.N.-led election process that fell apart
        last December.
        
        Agreement on national elections would represent a big step towards stopping another bout of warfare and helping to end a decade of chaos and conflict since the NATO-backed ousting of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
        
        Both bodies are recognised under the U.N.-approved 2015 Libyan Political Agreement as the two legislative bodies,but they have been in direct confrontation with each other for most of the period since Libya split between eastern and western factions in 2014.
