5 March 2015:

All 23 political delegates taking part in the UN-brokered dialogue process arrived in the Moroccan seaside . . .[restrict]resort of Skhirat, south of Rabat (not Marrakech as earlier mistakenly reported) this afternoon for the latest round of talks and almost immediately got down to business. The atmosphere is said to be positive although the discussions between the those delegates from the House of Representatives (HoR) and the General National Congress (GNC) will be again be indirect as was the case in Ghadames three weeks ago.

As delegates flew to Morocco, the head of the official air force, Saqr Adam Geroushi, announced that there would be a three-day moratorium on air strikes against Libya Dawn forces to give the give the dialogue “a chance” to succeed. Earlier in the day, though, LNA aircraft had again attacked Mitiga airbase, one of the main operations centres of Libya Dawn. Dawn then bombed Zintan.
