3:03 am
european. during a news conference in tunis libya's interior minister won't need that libya's neighboring countries will be affected if true police falls he says have to risk being backed by civil regional countries the talisay than the one. we know very well there are a mirage he forces an airbase in the east of the country there are also forces from sudan and chad they have all been brought by have target has given them bases and airports in libya without any agreements well we hope that what the situation is worsening as half those warplanes target civilian locations in and around tripoli. who has voiced concerns over a possible turkish military deployment to libya while president as dylan said last week turkey will not stay silent over what he called russian backed mercenaries supporting have to have to his forces are supported by advanced weapons and from several countries including russia france the united arab emirates and egypt turkey
3:04 am
appears to be one of very few friends of the tripoli based government who are prepared to offer more than mere words to support it. would have been what it is here to pretty. well as we mentioned here egypt's calling on the u.s. to intervene that still she had for tense in washington d.c. hi there she has so what exactly is the u.s. position. it's unclear as is often the case with donald trump's administration's foreign policy in the middle east and whether this is because of careful strategic ambiguity or simply just factionalism within the administration with the old gods the neo cons the whole the military industrial complex and we should be involved in this and saying look we don't have a dog in this fight if other people want to get involved in the middle east let them do it we've spent enough we've given too much already i mean that's that is the question these are the 2 competing the competing factions really in the trumpet
3:05 am
ministrations and now we have this phone call between donald trump and president sisi and it does it does lend itself to the sort of pattern we've seen throughout the year but this is the readout from the white house regarding libya the leaders rejected foreign exploitation and agreed that parties must take urgent steps to resolve the conflict before libyans lose control to foreign actors and if we look at the egyptian readout of the same conversation this is how they presented l.c.c. assess it to the american president egypt's support for empowering the libyan people in achieving security and stability as well as stressed the importance of the role of the libyan national army that's huffed us forces and fighting terrorism that threatens the whole middle east region that sort of follows a pattern to. what this necessarily means in the great scheme of things but we have seen this before this you know that the u.s. is official position was supporting the quote internationally recognized government in tripoli but then around april of this year i think i said may and last i was in
3:06 am
fact april. from the game of the subject of a great deal of lobbying from egypt saudi arabia and the u.a.e. about supporting huffed and they were making the case of oh everyone you know the tripoli forces are all supported by isis the islamic fundamentalists and so on. and then a week or so off that phone call from actually made a phone call to her after we go so often that nobody actually phoned after which is seen as a deeply symbolic moment in the u.s. as positionally been told that they supposedly talked about a shared vision for a for libya so that was them sort of walk back by the state department although no longer calling for a cease fire but just talking about the need for stability and democracy but then the state department position hardened when the 1st reports came out of mercenaries associated with a russian oligarch poor in troops into libya now the kremlin denies any any direct involvement in this but this is the subject of the usual sort of debate and then
3:07 am
the state department position hold once again they said look we need a ceasefire and there is no longer that sort of absolute tacit support for after that seem to be going on following the triumph the trump phone conversation and now we have another phone conversation between trump and sisi where as far as. the egyptians are presenting it they discuss the importance of huffed us forces in the process of bringing port stability to libya so we're back to where we are there's a seems to be that that sort of factionalism that split within the administration they were quite used to meanwhile russia and turkey are moving ahead with their own coordination with what might happen next in libya and it does seem in russian it didn't seem too keen on turkey however they prefer turkey to nato troops going into libya and they get the to putin and russia type one are due to have talks in turkey on general the 8th which is exactly when there's talk of this vote in parliament in turkey so we have to see there's lots of talk of some ground important issues of
3:08 am
but certainly the running is being made by others and not by washington at least as far as we know she had pretended there joining us live from washington d.c. she had thank you william lawrence's set a professor at george washington university's school of international affairs he says they present situation is a win win for turkey. i've seen 10 different versions among the analysts of the deal that could be in the making what's being discussed the turkish foreign ministers minister was just in moscow having a pretty discussions there was a talk of an is live for a trip to tripoli deal where the russians would be given more of a way forward. in exchange for stepping back in tripoli and increasingly the syrian and libyan theatres are overlapping in the turkish russia negotiation and putin's also been very astute here because with an increased turkish presence that also was part of his desire to decrease nato influence in libya so it's turks
3:09 am
instead of nato and then he's got that other arms deal with turkey which cheaply he's trying to cut in nader's influence and made his relationship with turkey as well so all of those issues are interconnected now it's kind of a win win for turkey on the one hand i don't think anyone really wants to send in troops and he's been signaling in various ways including to the tunisian surface a cease fire coming that he'd prefer not to bring in troops and on the other hand if he does send in troops though those can be used for the defense of tripoli from the 3000 sudanese mercenaries and 1000 russian mercenaries and and other increasing troop levels and also since a psychological message both militarily and also regarding the internal an extra lion says in libya regarding the libyan conflict and it also helps get us to the berlin peace conference in january because if tripoli falls that completely changes the tenor of that discussion then if tripoli is holding up and there is an actual
