i spoke to an official a short while ago who said the nigerian government will condemn these attacks the president has not issued a statement as of yet but the officials here have agreed that the attack is unpardonable but even then operate father on that now the issue of these migrants in the libya has been going on for a very long time nigeria said they have more than 5000 migrants in libya but when we were there in generally of last year to evacuated hundreds of thousands of them so far more than 50001000 have been evacuated we realize of the situation is much bigger than what the nigerian government initially thought and that is only talking about migrants was probably in areas controlled by the government recognized by the international community we don't talking about those behind the front lines those in areas controlled by the rebel leader and other areas that are inaccessible to government officials. is the middle east and north africa deputy director of

adding this team to national joins us live from london by skype good to have you with us 1st of all let's start with what's obviously happened all the cold notes of such migrant centers generally well known. well the location of the migrant detention center it's very well known yes absolutely with regards to the specific that pension center and social order. east of tripoli or it in the eastern suburbs of tripoli it has been known to the warring parties and it was hit by an airstrike already on the 7th of may and at that time amnesty international had warned of the dangers of keeping much of the holding migrants in that tension center is next to active. next to combat. so
7:37 pm
how could this repeatedly happen then i mean is there i don't. i don't try to get you to draw any conclusions but is it feasibly is in the realm of possibility that this could repeatedly be hit by mistake. well e.c. the. immigration detention center as far as we understand and as far as we have there are hired with satellite imagery as well as interviews but that the train migrants and refugees there is continue to be used as a military where hounds of themselves are held next to our enemies and to an army. that means that their lives are continuously a danger. and you know whereas if you said we can't be drawing any conclusions at this stage an international investigation is
7:38 pm
into this incident to exactly establish the responsibility of who goes behind this airstrike what is clear is that both sides have the responsibility to protect civilians from such a path and they do a responsibility to remove them from. any any areas that could be considered as a military target or a view or are there raises 2 questions in my mind let's say the 1st one who has a history of having vacuumed of pattern on air attacks of air attacks. well when it comes that of course you know he has their interests but. we have also. documented the air attack by its weapons both sides you know. artillery rockets. that are emphasize and there to time get residential areas. so there is
7:39 pm
a pattern on both sides at the moment you know what the government of national accord of them saying it is that they're blaming it on. aurally. the libyan national it's a. great tour that has been caused by. by the it's not an. airstrike but i think it is. just to clarify if i understood you correctly you're saying from the pictures you've seen it does look like an airstrike but obviously it's a bit too early to say who is behind it right. that is that is correct you know libya continues. a very fluid situation. i'll give you a 2nd switch off if the next question i was going to ask is who has to make the
7:40 pm
decision or to move these people out of harm's way if you're saying that they're associated or located too closely to arms their pows and other things well under international law obviously. ne ne signed that as well in in a conflict. you know that they have an obligation to minimize harm to civilians and to protect them. at all times. the principle of attentions and is. just part of an automaton irregular migration which remains under the document not of war it's just means that in this particular case. that the government of the police. government. has an obligation or i'm sure that these people are not and they enter it and that
7:41 pm
they are committed to safety where. their lives are protected. must remember that you know none of these people should be detained in the 1st place and that they are being held arbitrarily only for immigration. purposes and and there is also a responsibility. european member states as well as the european union in order to push the libyan authorities to release these people to increase the number of settlements and to benton really. you know are or are going to eyes are considered there are evacuations of safety all right thank you very much for your thoughts and analysis on that in the mojave to bring.
7:42 pm
our some a crowbar is a political and defense analyst from the strategic studies center in dar who joins me now live on the set so i was just speaking there to represent of amnesty international saying from the pictures she's seen it looks like an ass. she can't go much further obviously in saying who is responsible but let me ask you from the evidence that you've seeing is there a pattern emerging here of course there has been strikes in daily basis on tripoli on different places in tripoli who's carrying those strand those by have to with the liberation from their command of force of daily saying that our forces is taking charge or a strike or committing airstrike against the or whatever they're calling the people and the police how much of an air force does 34 have to really have or we're talking about his units or are we talking about really about other states who are
7:43 pm
involved in the conflict giving him support it is certainly in the states it's certainly not really have to play as he doesn't really have the airplanes that have the sophistication to carry on very. direct hits like that and we have been like facing this for almost 90 days now it is sort of the. event that immigrants will face such atrocity but at the same time libyan civilians have been hit been subject to this kind of strike for almost 90 days while the international community didn't really make such a big noise as well as with what we're seeing today or hearing today is that it's not like i'm trying to undermine what's happening last night but i'm trying to see civilians should be treated the same in this kind of crossfire's and. the person who's really. in charge of the person is really committing these should
7:44 pm
be really condemned directly and unfortunately the u.n. until today they filled ready to point the fingers towards have to although all the media outlets of have there are be a channels also to clear the. the air force committed a strike against a camp that holst tourist this is what they said last night in the. t.v. channel and then they have changed that afterwards or oh the more questions i wanted to ask you about how the flow of weapons is coming in there we'll leave that for another time there thanks very much for analysis. now our whole gandy is resigned as the leader of india's oldis political party the indian national congress who made the announcement on twitter a short time ago the 48 year old ladies party's campaign during this year's general election but faced major defeat against the ruling b j p gandy says he's morally responsible for his party's poor electoral performance and is left it to others to
