Fear and hope on Libya's reopened highway

SIRTE, Libya (Reuters) - The green bus rumbling from Benghazi to Tripoli this week was the first to traverse the main highway between Libya's two biggest cities in years - the delayed result of a peace push that is running into trouble.

The coastal highway was reopened last week after months of negotiation as part of a ceasefire agreed in October, allowing traffic to cross the static frontline and avoid a long, perilous detour through the desert.
