a statement from france has these suggested extension would not meet the existing d.-u. conditions which the now awaits a response from brussels. in libya powerful militias moving in on the capital tripoli in the past few years oz in general khalifa haftar as troops have taken a village just forty kilometers south of the capital where the un backed government is based it's begun deploying troops around the city it's an escalation of the palace struggle that has raised in libya since the fall of gadhafi in two thousand and eleven the head of the united nations antonio good ten ish has just left libya where he met with both the government and general have a terrorist says he hopes a military confrontation in libya can still be averted. now for some analysis i have with me marcus kayyem. in the german institute for international and security affairs welcome oxes we had the eastern forces holding

a homing in to tripoli how serious is this situation military i mean your assessment there is here is actually we're expecting some kind of development for the last couple of weeks we've seen the forces off. advancing to the help of libya occupying the most important oil fields in general or in february so extending his reign his power and actually we're expecting the next move the next move will be to the west to misrata and to people ok so tell us a little bit more about khalifa have done what are his aims basically it's a straw man in the east of libya being. the rule of the east and to solve a country and the counterpart to the internationally recognized government in tripoli and he's this paul does not rest on a unified government on it or unified political entity it's curious power rests on the militias on the ground and therefore we call maybe not weak but fred.

therefore. is to wait if the if he's going to resist me to move to resistance and some of the missions with the sides ok now as you mentioned the u.n. secretary general good tradition was in tripoli as he was being treated i'm leaving with a heavy heart and deeply concerned so how much of a setback would it be if this internationally recognized government want to be dislodged it's a tremendous setback for the international community to have to keep in mind that under u.n. supervision there was already a national conference scheduled for mid april in which political reconciliation or both should be established and you know actual unity government should be established and this is off the table and we're back to it's back to zero. given all the efforts of the international community all the united nations of france for the european union and the international mediator so what would be the kind of

blind implications if this u.n. backed government does for basically where libya is expected to slide back into civil war situation we have between twenty and have been twenty fourteen but bush continued more or less since then and therefore european peasant why the implication because libya is the most important transit country for migration and therefore one of the migration policy pillars of the european union was an existing cooperative living in government and this is not existing anymore of the whole idea of cooperation between europe and libya with three automatic russian simply off the table so a lot of instability in the region and briefly marcus is there anything at this late stage the international community can do to deescalate the situation not really because the more most important options are on the table i'll have been put on the table then the connection conference with the man and i mentioned.

one option that hasn't worked before and. bargo and that basically there's not so much to do for the international community right marcus khan thank you very much for that analysis and you often the german institute for international and security fails thank you. time now to look at some other stories making news around the world thousands of anti-government demonstrators are marching through the algerian capital and shias for a seventh consecutive friday they're calling for a change of government the latest rally comes just days after pressure from the army and street protests forced the alien president of the disease beautifully to step down after twenty years in power. the international criminal court's chief prosecutor says her u.s. visa has been revoked and sudo was going to launch an investigation into possible war crimes by u.s. soldiers in afghanistan last month u.s. secretary of state mike wants that washington would take measures against i.c.c.
