responsibility but intelligence experts say that they suspect either anti-houthi fighters are behind the attack. they say the deteriorateing security climate in yemen is alarming. >> we call on all actor within yemen to hold all unilateral offensive actions. we specifically call on the houthis for vermont saleh and their allies to stop their incitement and undermining president hadi, yemen's legitimate president. >> it comes a day after loyalists to former president saleh attacked the airport. >> we need to defend ourselves. if the enemy wants to talk us, we'll attack them 37. >> the fight to control yemen is now between houthies, sunni

tribes, some argue they're acting as proxy arms for surrounding countries. and it's not sure if descent into all-out civil car can be prevented. >> a yemeni political analyst and conflict specialist, she said that it could bring more armed groups like isil into yemen. >> if no political solution is found, yemen will continue to slip into more chaos, and maybe isis will emerge or spread in yemen. i think it's key that the international community and regional players put pressure on political actors to come to political agreement. i think more crucial is that former president saleh, who continues to be polar who is still in control of the security, most of the military,

he has createed enough instability since 2011. he has staged a coup. he continued to use his power and his reach in areas to create more instability. as long as he's in the country. as long as he has control over security and military he will do whatever it takes to prevent political settlements from taking place. his presence in yemen is toxic. taking him out of yemen is crucial. >> meanwhile u.s.-brokered talks have resumeed in morocco. taking part are representatives from the country's two competing governments. the internationally recognized parliament in tibruk and the congress in the capitol of tripoli. it's hoped by sunday that an agreement will be reached on the formation of an unity government with a new prime minister. but adding urgency to these talks, wednesday's museum attack

the united nations recognized house of representatives in tibruk insist it is the only legitimate authority in libya. >> we have basic differences especially about legitimacy. we feel that it is coming into the political scene with no real basis. >> these are members of the tripoli-based germ national congress. they say they are the ones who control mortar tore. >> right now we need to reach out to the tibruk delegation here face to face so we can listen to what they want because libya is in crisis. >> this is the man whose fate hangs in the balance. general haftar is the army chief backed by tibruk.

the tripoli delegation has one condition: if there is a deal here in the moroccan capital haftar should go. but the army general has always maintained he is the only guarantee against the isil-affiliated groups. >> they come from mali, niger and even boko haram. they come from sudan threw the desert to bengahzi, and also through sudan by planes into tripcally. what we need are weapons and ammunition only. >> but the international community does not seem willing to deliver weapons to haftar, fearing that that may alienate factions loyal to tripcally. >> they are determined to give diplomacy a chance, and to farm

revolution of four years ago. the violent event of wednesday have set back that progress by several years. this shop lies slightly off the main tourist routes. the owner has been running it for more than 30 years. he's too upset by the attack itself to consider what effect it might have on his business. >> believe me, i was deeply moved. i imagined myself in their place if i was visiting their country. they came to visit our country. they came to visit us. >> another procession this time by people who have come in by bus from a seaside resort. their message of what happened at the bardo museum has nothing to do with their country or their religion. now it's for the visitors to decide whether they will come. >> at least 30 people have died and dozens more are injured after a train derailed in the

if you touch it, it's cold. >> the water is produced through condensation. put your hand here. >> it's raining on my hand. >> fresh part is the brain child of this chilean engineers, an industrial designer and forest try engineer put together this prototop in a lab called social lab where each start up aims to fulfill a social need. >> we want everyone to have a well in their home, and not have to depend on currents or if it rains. people can have infinite supplies. water is for everyone. >> if there is no electricity you plug the machine into a solar panel and it consumes very little energy. >> it's massive technology simplified. the prototype produces nine and

30 leaders of chemical and sulfur free water a day depending on climate continues. it's almost 40 degrees out here. everything is dry as you can see, and there is practically no moisture in the air. but even in these extreme conditions, and even in the desert we're told, the fresh water machine is able to extract moisture and produce drinking water. the only draw back right now seems to be the price roughly $1,000. but it's creators want to eventually make it more affordable. their contribution, they say towards quenching the global thirst for life's most basic resource. lucia newman, al jazeera, santiago. >> we'll have much more on the issue of water in the coming days here on al jazeera. on saturday we'll take you to lesthoto despite plentiful supplies people have to travel huge distances to access water. since being founded in san
